I kow a guy who is simply deadly with an airbursh.

A fantastic artist...  However, I'm not sure how his equipment
and expertise does on wood.

He's done some heavy motorcycle gas tanks, a few jeep hoods and
on canvas, he can't be beat.

Righ tnow he's in athol.  Ma. Depending on your location,
I can try to run him down if you want.

     I recently saw a Charvel-Jackson that had a picture airbrush
     on it { I believe it was a Nagel } and I thought it was intense,
     but at a price of $999.oo  ...??
     Anyways, I was wondering how I could get a poster or picture
     on my guitars body. Someone suggested using rubber cement and then
     coating the top with urathane. Has anyone done this and are there
     better ways to reach my objective ?
    
                                     Thanks

    I saw an add in a guitar rag recently that had static plastic transfers
    for your axe.  Seems like a decent idea, since it'll protect the finish
    and look good.  Static plastic is like those stickies that Jiffy Lube
    puts on your windshield.
    
    Jackson provides custom graphics of your choice; you PAY out the butt
    for a custom Jackson though...  I saw one that had the side of a ship
    with a torpedo hole blown in the side of it.  Quite awesome.
    
    I am also in love with snake skin covered Jacksons like Warren
    DiMartini has.  Hubba Hubba.
    
    Jacksons are one of a kind axes.  You pay the big bucks and they'll
    custom build you ANY kind of guitar you want.
