shaowebb Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I just won a purple backpacker acoustic from ebay and I plan to refinish it with a custom paint job themed around videogames. Ive put my ideas to a vote on a few other boards and now Im down to just a couple designs and cant decide on them or colors. So heres what I got as my choices now -TETRIS THEME. Blocks descending from fretboard down to a set of blocks at the bottom to form a line. No colors or effects chosen yet. -MARIO BROS 2. Mario diving down fretboard holding phantos key and getting chased all the way down to the body where the locked door is located. Colors would be an exact copy of the lengthier stages where you get chased in mario 2. Background color and effects not chosen. -MISC. A theme was voted popular because it worked for any game. Body is a screenshot of any game's title screen with the fretboard decorated with the name of the game extending across it. Each theme here sounds awesome to me so I cant really decided. Even the last one which is vague sounds good simply because its so versatile and leaves a LOT of room for play on fretboard and body colors and effects. So what do you think I should do. Please specify any colors and/or effects (metal fleck, burn, etc.)you think would look best for any of these. Image of guitar below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Looking at that guitar, mario brothers 2 came to mind. If it were more squared off, Tetris and some older 8-bit games would work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I saw the purple and the triangle bridge thingie, and Zelda jumped to mind. Maybe a royal blue/purple/gold theme could work, and the Triforce is a simple enough design to be cool and unobtrusive at the same time.

It would be sweet if he made a new tailpiece that looked like the triforce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Definitely! I think the Triforce/Zelda theme is the way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_ado Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 yeah zelda it will probably be the next zelda game instead of the ocarina it will be called "backpacker acoustic of time" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorecki Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Be careful how much effort you put into that thing. I picked up one of those and it fell apart in about 1 1/2 hours. Guess that's what happens to a $15 guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranber Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Space invaders. With aliens on the fretboard and the ship on the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyManAndy Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) I'll have to agree with the other guys on a Zelda theme, especially since I'm such a huge fan of the series. CMA Edited June 10, 2007 by CrazyManAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
