This one was commissioned as a birthday gift for a 9 y.o. girl who loves sailing. It is a concert scale and is decorated with water-slide decals. The fret markers are decals as well that I cut out with a standard paper hole punch. This is what I consider my base level trim and materials. Bass wood box, poplar neck, oak fingerboard, budget CB Gitty tuning machines. I shaped the nut myself from a bone saddle blank.

Thank you all for the positive comments. Delivered it this morning.
Very nice, I can't imagine her not loving it. Been thinking of buying some waterslide paper, any recommendation on brand?
I bought Testors first and it worked well but it took a lot of time in the water to slide off. The stuff I used on this one I got from Amazon from KustomRides. I don't know who actually makes it but I suspect it is Papilio. I have also used a two part transfer that is harder to use but I like the look better. It is called Rub Onz by Graphix. You don't need to top coat it before application.
Aaaaarrrrrrgggg! She's lookin' mighty "see"-worthy, matey!
Ships ahoy! Nice one!
Absolutely beautiful! She will love this work of art. The little anchor on the tailpiece is great!
