Are you currently planning a guitar/bass restoration or got a project in mind? Or, are you just getting tired of basic black and wonder what your baby would look like in a screaming tangerine colour with red pickup mounting rings!? Sometimes it's hard to visualize what the final outcome will look like unless you're very good at that sort of thing. Even then it's still a bit of a fuzzy concept.
I came across this great little online program that will let you play with shapes, colours and hardware and virtually design your dream guitar:
