Re: any help will do

Why not carve a giant squid on the top?? That would be unique.

Won't be unique if you tell him what to put on the guitar...

Go to a custom printer with your design, they should be able to make a transfer for you.

How many guitars have you seen with a giant squid on it? Suggestions for a design do not take away uniqueness. It might not be as personal but it would still be unique.

Iron-ons?

I like the window decal idea. I bet they'd stick perfectly to your Custom, though with playing/use, they may peel. This place offers a few options:
Custom Window Clings, Vehicle Static Clings, Removable Decals

I don't know if they mail the products to the Phillipines though.

Google does.

You can make your own water-slide decals with a PC and color printer. Greasy Groove has videos on how to properly apply them. They do not come off cleanly when you change your mind.
