Finally finished the WHAAM! Project. Nearly 85 hours in one paint job, spread out over about 8 months.

This started out as a mint 2000 MG 330/6. Strip it, seal it, sand it, Jetglo back, neck and headstock, five separate hand-maskings (no vinyl!) for the five colors, clean up, detailing and touch-up, lots of clearcoat and sanding flat before buffing. Three weeks for the clearcoat to cure. Now the graphic is dead-flat and glass-shiny.

I had to enlarge the 2000's CNCd control cavity to match the hand-routed original, as it's a graphic element, too. Clear acrylic, single-level guard; control cavity painted and overlaid with Rowlux. Lots of hardware replaced with NOS. Arrived in a gig bag, leaves in a new Rick case.

Are there any copyright issues surrounding the use of Roy Lichtenstein's artwork on the Whaam guitar?

[jingle_jangle]

No more than there were on the original.

It's not under the Lichtenstein estate copyright. DC Comics published the original which Roy Lichtenstein "embellished".

Interesting.
Thanks for that. I always wondered how Weller got away with using the image on his 330.

A fookin work of art if ever there was one. Serious.
