Design and Conquer

For my Physics class, we are building musical instruments. Obviously being a guitarist, that's what I'm going to build. I've found a Squier strat in 1,000 pieces on Craigslist and I plan on re-assmbling, re-wiring, and personalizing it. For a design I'm thinking about doing a plain-wood body, black pick guard, white accents, with a black, simple version of the JK clothing logo (following the guitarist of Sonic Syndicate a bit). If you have any ideas on how I can make this any better, shoot me them.
