Kurt Cobain Mustang project

Cobains 3rd mustang with Jesus gethsemane picture. The above picture is best picture I can find. Have to recreate based on that. Not sure of colors. Have a stewmac schaller non tremolo bridge. Apparently cobain and novolseic had made a few homemade mustangs. The body looks really thin. He made another on in bloom video and another pale pink one. These guitars seem to be made to be broken. Used some applebarrel paint watered down with 25% water/paint ratio. Applied with soft brush.

Making a model of Cobains first mustang. Livenirvana.com has a lot of info. Bought reliced hardware from realliferelics on reverb. Issues when making vinyl record pickguard. Wanted to give pickguard some stability. Attempted to glue vinyl on .80″ acrylic with loctite glue but vinyl reacted weird to and became malleable on certain parts. Might have applied to much clamp pressure. Not sure. Maybe less glue.
