Thats awesome! I have considered doing that to some of my equipment but I lack the skills required to do a satisfactory job.

I did put a Pinkie Pie sticker on the bottom of my APC40.

its not that hard though
if you cant redraw it by hand print out a stencil trace it with pencil onto your instrument then paint over the outline with your choice of paint (im not 100% sure what works best on what)

I haven't done anything cool like that yet. I will eventually try to get an inlay of Trixie's cutie mark centered on the 12th fret or something like that.

Right now, I have Scootaloo's cutie mark on my guitar.

I want to get a fretboard inlay of the mane 6's cutie marks. One day, when I have enough money, I will do it.

Well, a couple hundred dollars if I have a luthier do it for me... I don't want to risk doing it myself and damaging the neck, though. Maybe on a cheap guitar, but not on my main one.

I haven't done anything to an existing instrument, but I did make a makeshift bell kit once out of aluminum bars, yarn and a plastic bin. It only covered about an octave, but it was still pretty cool :D
PinkieGuy, that guitar is GORGEOUS!

You are a professional. I should send you my Jackson Rhoads and pay you $400 to see how far that gets me. Can you install pickups on a guitar too?

I put some stickers on my trombone a few years back. They won't come off now. It's pretty hardcore.
