Question: Personalizing a guitar?

Posted: 29 Mar 2015 07:41 PM PDT

I am considering customizing a guitar as a gift for friend. Haven't decided whether to use an acoustic or an electric (I have both).

The thought I have on this is to strip the finish from the back of the guitar only and using collage (lightest materials possible, probably tissue papers and light drawing papers-all archival, if it matters) and paint, then refinishing the guitar back with the appropriate clear finish over the top of the artwork.

My questions are: Is this a viable plan? What effect is this likely to have on the sound of the guitar? Would one type of guitar be better for this sort of thing than the other? My guess is that the electric's sound would be less effected, but the acoustic could be really beautiful, too.

Thanks!
