This is portrait of my beautiful Ibanez 6-string that I did with pure photoshop layers, filters and brushes. I have my own woodgrain and marble brushes that I created which helped quite a bit. I'm having some problem getting the outside trim of the body. In reality, it's a 2-layer trim with a thin stripe in the center.

Anybody have any ideas how to get this "pinstripe" edge without using strokes from layer styles? I still have more work to do on it yet, but would like to get the body finished first. Thanks! [img][/img][img][/img]

I didn't try to get this perfect but it will give you the idea:

Select the guitar body. Turn the selection into a path, scale the path and adjust as needed. Stroke the path with small brush.

Thanks Hawkeye. I thought of doing that, but yours came out much better. Is there a trick to stroking the path, something I should turn on, off? whenever I try it, I get really jagged lines.
