Thanks guys, I'm really looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Yes I have masked the fretboard and marked the back of the neck with don't paint here. They will use acrylic artists paints, hand applied so no overspray issues. When it comes back I'll give it a couple of coats of acrylic gloss to seal it.
On their photo gallery is Jason with one of his artworks.

This is the standard of stuff these guys can do, I really can't wait to see what they make of it!
There's some pretty good musicians up there, and all the music stuff is kept in excellent condition by the kids too.
I guess they will tell me the story when it's done 😊
