Note that the silver has sanding marks that will be polished out when I do the real ones.

I'm assuming the markers will get narrower as you go up the neck? Might be a bit overwhelming otherwise. I think this is very handsome, and I love that the side markers will be highly visible. I have at least one guitar where overly small side markers present a problem for me.
