I've used liqiud masking fluid (Frisket) and auto detailer's pinstriping tape -- very flexible. And the best was a full size mask made using a compass with a tiny blade.

You make/cut the mask on a piece of glass peel it off and stick it to the guitar.

I was thinking it was cut on the guitar, now it makes sense. Thanks
