Just like the title says - the coolest guitar ever.
Everyone knows that Haruko is all about the evil love thang, and i always wanted a yellow guitar... so there you have it. I now own the worlds most rock n' fucking roll guitar on the face of the planet! I am almighty! Fear my screamo power!

Me and ~mega3 made this over about a few weeks... a very long process I might add.
First we designed it using Photoshop actually - I'll have to add that Haruko's stance and outfit was duplicated from some official FLCL artwork, from a magazine I think.
Next, we covered it with painters tape, to give it a more suitable surface for painting on - also, it can be peeled off, so there's still a black guitar in there somewhere.
Then we painted the whole thing yellow, with acrylic paint, and sprayed some pinkish paint on that - now for the tricky bit.
The Haruko lineart was copied from a printout to transparent paper, and glued on the painted guitar. The various areas were then colored in, mostly with acrylic pens, and lastly shadows and highlights were added with watercolour. The last lines were drawn on there, along with a thicker outline, and some hearts were added here and there...
At very long last we taped the whole thing over with transparent acrylic tape, so the surface won't get damaged, and the image will stay clear. Phew! Re-stringed it, and it plays fantasticly as well!

The guitar: my trusty Ibanez IC 300
