Vector Design Brief
I have a custom guitar business and need designs for trout inlays on the fingerboard. Paul Reed Smith has a design using birds: http://www.prsguitars.com/index.php/electrics/core/custom_22_2017
I would like to do something similar but using fish, specifically trout. I did something years ago: http://www.casperguitar.com/photos/OM/content/SE_Asian_OM_118_large.html. But it was very static and also included trout fly designs. I am looking for a design that reflects trout in various positions up the fingerboard, swimming, turning, leaping, etc. I am basically looking for 9 variations of a trout. Line art in a .dxf or .ai file would be ideal, which I can then program for my CNC.
If the inlay is classy enough, I could consider using it as my standard inlay package for all guitars

Requirements
Must have
- Clean line art that is capable of being milled on my CNC machine with a 0.023" end mill. If points are too tight, I can always tweak later, but points at 0.023" would save me a lot of time later. Fret spacing varies on the fingerboard, so designs can be taller near the headstock, but must have a lower profile or be smaller at the saddle. Look at the PRS link above. I can scale to fit, but reducing will also tighten points and corners, which I would then have to rework. Basically designs should not be much wider than 1.4" with max heights in inches as follows:
- 1- 1.000
- 2- 0.875
- 3- 0.750
- 4- 0.625
- 5- 0.500
- 6- 0.375
- 7- 0.300
- 8- 0.250
- 9- 0.190
Nice to have
- I'd like the design to have a flow up the fingerboard and not just a bunch of random fish logos. I have also seen designs that look like leaves falling down the fingerboard. I'd like a clean, appealing theme. I'd like the design to appeal to everyone, not just flyfisherman.
