    Honestly I'm way happier with my own drawing of the Dragon Telecaster than whoever Jimmy Used as an illustrator for his.   So I'm making laser cut stencils for the various color layers.    This video is of very thin 4mil mylar.   This thickness melts the mylar in places that I wish it didn't.  I'm testing 7mm and even thin sturdy acrylic sheets.  My Drawing centers around the bridge holes so the Red, Green, Orange and Blue all have an anchor point.  Also let's not forget the yellow between the Red & Green lines.    When you really study the original guitar and see how straight and sharp the lines are, there is no doubt the original guitar was done with Stencils.  I heard via a 3rd party (which very well have been a rumor) that Page even found his original stencils.    I love that Page applied paint to the custom shop models himself, but at his age to free hand them via a paint by numbers strategy simply could not have been how the original was done and should NOT have been how these were done.   Laying the yellow down first and then applying the Red & Green over the yellow is the only way to get the yellow so thin and accurately between.

    Would you be selling a copy of any of these stencils? I'm currently recreating the telecaster but i'm no artist!
