Seeking sources for high res graphics for Fallout prop

So I have this hollow body electric guitar kit that I finally decided to do something with. For a long time I wanted to make a guitar that would look like an electric
guitar that might exist in the game world. The idea for this was that maybe this guitar is owned by a pre-war ghoul who has travelled all over the game world.
To that end I wanted to include all sorts of little things from all of the different games. This is me messing around with some images I ganked off the web to help
figure out placement and get an idea for how these things might look. The guitar is going to get heavily weathered, is going to have stuff like bottle caps for the
tone and volume controls, New Vegas poker chip bezel around the pickup selector switch, heck maybe even some kind of LED light "vacuum tubes" and other
Fallout-esque touches. So I'm wondering if there is some sort of source for good high res graphics images to start from for things like the Nuka Girl image, but
I'm also thinking ahead to things like the bottle caps, maybe stuff like bottle labels and other things that might get stuck onto the guitar by this ghoul troubador.
I hope you folks can help out with some suggestions. I'm really a complete neophyte when it comes to stuff like this. I've never really made any kind of cosplay
prop before so I don't even really know where to begin. I hope you all can help or offer suggestions. Thanks!

I don't have any knowledge of where to find graphics, but could give a couple suggestions. I would go with a regular Nuka Cola logo (or the one with "Zap that thirst!") over Nuka girl, just my preference, unless you made her smaller. I would also add one or two bullet hits like he was shot at and the guitar saved him. Another option is finding some faux skin to make a strap. Maybe giant gecko or something. Another thing would be to maybe layer a couple stickers over top (overlapping?) and then have a couple that are worn away or torn to suggest age. There are a lot of people on here who know how to weather paper better than me though so maybe they'll chime in with tips (or search).

Bottlecaps for volume tone, gammagun ammo, the glowing green rod, for pickup selector.

Have it glow green, maybe even have green goo dried and crusted leaking out of the f-holes.
Rad roach leg for a whammy bar.
