Globally nice.  That's a tough object to model, I know.

You'll probably never find a font with that reversed "F", so you
must go with a high-res image_map, maybe a height_field to get the
engraved look.

Now, for the small details : 
 - you may give some relief to the screw treads using a spiral normal, 
or even better, an isosurface of a cylinder with a spiral pigment 
function.
 - watch out the strings thickness.  Look at a string pack for
the gauge values.  Also use a spiral normal for the filleted strings.
 - make sure that the strings are connected tangently to the
head mechanics
 - pay attention to the scale and orientation of the neck's
wood (rosewood), and give it a suitable finish.
