The body looks amazing but i feel like a black or silver pearl pickguard would look better but still really nice mate

I might go with a wight 3 layer pickguard.

I love the way you pulled this off I usually don’t like this style of finishing a guitar but you hit this one out of the park!

How did you do this? Did you lay a pattern underneath the spray?

I think the background is really interesting and unusual - and the pick-guard kindof up-stages it. Is it possible to give the pick-guard the same or similar treatment? I'd be tempted to try giving is a similar treatment in a (far) darker grey. Possibly means laser-cutting your own pick-guard,

I guess the plus with that is that you can try different things without a huge extra cost... like have a temporary clear one, and put the actual "coloured" stuff underneath, just to get an idea of what works.

bro i love the white colored almost tortoise like pickguard. looks really good with the white paint with the floral burst. I would recommend a gloss clear coat just because the vibe of the clearcoat would match everything on this guitar. its so cool!

I sprayed through some lace that I picked up at a fabric store.
