How to Customize Your Own Pickguard
- 1). Send it away to a professional to be customized. There are companies that sell and customize pickguards (see Resources). Inquire about them doing the same to your pickguard, if you send it to them. They will tell you what you have to choose from as far as designs and textures go.
- 2). Add artwork yourself. You can put stickers on the pickguard. You can draw on it with permanent markers. You can have an artistic friend of yours paint something on it. A pickguard is a piece of plastic that can function as a canvas for your ideas.
- 3). Dye or paint the pickguard. RIT dye is the best dye to use for this purpose. Choose a color, and then follow the instructions to dye the pickguard. Or, buy spray paint or latex house paint to hand-paint the pickguard yourself. These are the best options if you wish to alter the entire coloring of the pickguard.
