Guitar Hero I Green Lightning Paintjob

[nic]

I am now completely finished with the guitar I've been working on except for the paint. I started off this guitar thinking I would paint it exactally like like the green lightning les paul in guitar hero I. Now I am not so sure if i should since it they came up with the design and i am not sure if they would mind if i copied it. I don't plan on selling this guitar or making more that one so I don't see anything wrong with it but I thought I would ask your opinions.

This is my guitar so far

I'd love to hear your opinions.

If it's just for you, there's no trouble with the law, and only an idiot would see it as anything other than a tribute.

If your sense of style and aesthetics tells you it'd be a cool finish for your guitar, there's no reason to not go ahead with it.

As long as you aren't manufacturing them and selling them for profit, there isn't any legal problem. Even if you did, I somehow doubt that they bothered to copyright the design of a single image from the game. Paint away.
