Chose the Flying V of course, as its a guitar i would probably not buy under normal circumstances as its a mad one! Only one thing for it, got to be painted in the black and white polkas as per the legendary randy rhoads - probably my favourite guitarist of all time.

White base - the dots colour. For the polkas, some round stickers i found on ebay, with a 3D printed template to get the spacing right, follwed by a coat of black and an incredibly satisfying sticker removal. Then added enough clear to sand back the bumps around the polkas, for a smoothe mirror finish!
