Custom pickguard idea

[Vorago]

The beginning of the design for a 'custom' pickguard, what do you think?

ps; I don't have a scanner so I had to photograph it and tweak a bit with contrast and brightness.

White on black probably.

Midnight wine, but the colours are not my concern atm, I have to finish the design first.

I haven't got a clue yet, I was thinking of using a 'sjablon' (cut it out in card board) and then use spraypaint, after roughing the plastic up with some sanding paper.

Then again, it would be very cool to have it carved out, but that would make it a lot harder to make...

Have a sign shop print the design on white vinyl and stick it on, very simple, very cheap, and undo-able.

or, just have them vinyl cut the black, and stick that to the white PG.
