Lemme ask you a couple things and be honest as hell. I'll explain the reasons below.
A. Do you have all the tools & paints to do the job AND know how to use them?
B. Have you ever stripped your guitar apart down to the pickups and put it back together including a setup?
C. Can you afford to buy a second pickguard if the one you work on gets messed up?
D. Can you live with a messed up paintjob?

A= i have an airbrush and im hoping i can use that instead of something else cause ive been using airbrushs for quite some time

B= this the first guitar I'VE OWNED with a pickguard so ive never stripped anything like this. i was hoping some guy at my music store could show me how

C= yes i can

D= no such thing. my hands wont allow a messed up paintjob.




i just recently got an idea to make a custom stencil, for example get some wd-40 and spray it on a glass surface then use a glue gun to design a custom stencil and scrape it off the glass with something like a spatula and then lay it on the pickguard and start spraying.

that way my work will be original and ill still have alot of things i can have on it except a pre-made pick or a pre-cut stencil.
