Default I don't know if I like this? Should I continue?

I'm making this guitar quilt for a great nephew. I wanted to make it as realistic as possible so I found some metallic thread and thought I'd attach it with a couching stitch to make the guitar strings. I've started with the thickest string (12 strands of thread). But now that I've gotten it about 1/2 sewn down, I'm not so sure I like it. Maybe it's because my string line isn't perfect..... or maybe it's because the couch stitches show up so much. Or maybe it's because this is a lot of work. But what do you all think? Should I continue or just not have strings on the guitar? I don't want it to look awful.
