Try this?

Incidentally, projectguitar.com is a really good site for people customising guitars, be it paint jobs, custom wiring, etc...

You could consider putting in some inlays.

Thats for the head.

For the pick-guard, I got some experience with printing on materials, but not with guitars though or any kind of paint. You can go to a guitar paint shop which are usually the ones who sells custom guitar parts or use some of the books that shows you how to paint your guitar. What I recommend you to do is to not paint your guitar, instead get a Vinyl printer papers and print your design on it. Some of the vinyl papers are permanent and some are not, you can remove them without leaving any marks, and it'll protect your guitar from any scratches. Vinyl soo do look better than any paint job. Don't try any transfer papers if there are any, 'cause they might ruin your guitar.
