i no longer have the desire or money to make a custom guitar so im looking to sell it, lol.
i got another question, i wanna give it a diffused glow look, how could i pull that off? any idea?

well, i havent bought the strips yet, as far as resistors go i was referring to my previous guitar LED project, irrelevant to this. but yea i mean, the only thing im worried about is how to mount it in the vents, either on the bottom, facing up, or face directly towards the front...

I have something similar in the hood of my car; I have them pointing straight vertical such that there is just a glow in the vents.
If you're custom making a strip like that, I HIGHLY suggest coating all the leads/jumpers/connections with a thin coating of RTV, just to keep everything waterproof and preventing corrosion. They may work without any issues, but over time they will corrode and stop working.
My install is a little different as mine is a 3rd brake light from a Nissan rear wing that I mounted in the vent; looks factory.
P.S. if you need info on LEDs, let me know... I do Solid-State lighting (LED based lighting) for a living...
