My maquette is a full size mock up on the guitar I’d like to use for this project. I’d like to incorporate a combination of ELWire, LED strips, and maybe some type of LED panel. I’m also planning to replace the pickguard with a clear plastic piece and illuminate it from behind.
Honestly, in the scope of 7 weeks (4 weeks now), I think I’d be content just to throw lights on it and call it a day, but if I have the time, I’d like to have some small programmed aspect to it. I’m also willing to simply mount any power supply and/or programming interface right on the front face of the body.
Since the guitar is currently annoying to play, I’m also using this project as an excuse to upgrade some of the hardware.

**The string is a crude mockup of likely EL Wire locations, while the tape around the body and headstock are likely LED strip locations
