Looking for creative staining ideas for the Jacko Warrior

[Snoogles]

Need to strip off the last remaining paint and sand down the sealer coat to bare wood.
Then i want to stain
want to do something creative, different, crazy
Probably only want to do black
this is a WARRIOR after all
here are the terms that pop into my head when i visualize this project:

Geometric
Steam-punk-ISH
blending
streaking

not thinking: burst

thankfully, the face and the back have a nice alder veneer, but the sides have glaring seams with discoloration in the wood. Which i'm thinking right off the bat, should be accentuated, rather than covered up.

I think a satin black body with a white pickguard covering from about 1/2 way between the pickups on up the right side would look cool. Chrome hardware and black/white pickups (kinda like zebra) would look cool. Maybe a few white stripes down the bottom left bout would look neat as well.

I think a moss green satin with bronze coloured binding/pinstripes
