    Thanks Andyxlh.
    That's a pattern generated by a computer using an algorithm I wrote. I had to tweak the code and do some test prints to get the right balance of lines, white, grey and black. Each print is unique. I am pleased with the result.
    here I couple of different tests:

    I have a question about shielding. I have purchased the copper tape from Pitbull Guitars, and I am trying to get my head around what to shield. I had a look online and clarified the topic a little, but got some confusion as well.

    My understanding is that the all the front cavities on the JB4 need to be shielded. What I am not sure is if I am supposed to lay the copper on the front of the body as well, where the volume/tone controls are going be?

    pictures below to illustrate

    in orange is the outline of the copper tape that I intend to use, just a couple of mills exceeding onto the front body, to touch the metal of the control plate.

    Is that the way of doing it?
    and everywhere else the copper tape should be laid only inside the cavities, without going over the front of the body?

    and what about the back of the pick guard? any copper tape there?

    Thank you in advance
