Well, inspired by some very nice custom Fleas and Flukes on these boards,(and congratulations to Skottomon for his very cool Graffiti Flea!), I figured I'd show you my Surfboard Flea. (Note that while I live near the beach I am not much of a surfer).
I recently got a used Ukeberry Flea, sanded the soundboard, taped and painted the different colored sections, used automotive detailing tape for the black lines, left the center stringer sections natural, then clearcoated it. I also switched out the black strings for some Kala Reds (which give more contrast to the fingerboard). The result is a sort of retro surfboard look:
ps: the thumbnail looks tiny but seems to enlarge ok when I click on it
