ES-335 Style Pickguard

2/24/2021

This one was a "can you force this to happen" request... a real challenge with paint-pouring, which took a couple tries to get right.
The subject: an ES-335 style beauty with a sunburst spalted-maple to red finish. The request was "mostly black, with some complimentary red/brown coloring in the middle." The owner also requested that the edges be finished in cream so that the pickguard would stand out from the body.
The first attempt was a traditional paint-pour, with colors layered to hopefully create the desired result. The resulting pour looked GREAT, but wasn't what was requested. So I, regretfully, re-poured (as promised to my customers if they don't like the initial result), using a method to create the desired final effect.
Colors used: 
  • Permanent Black
  • Copper
  • Burnt Sienna
  • A custom-mixed brown/red

The guitar in question. The pickguard in use at the time was obviously not the correct one for the guitar.

The first pour (not shiny and vibrant due to no resin). Gorgeous in its own right.

The pickguard to be painted, sanded, cleaned, and ready to go.

The second pour was precisely what the customer wanted. The edges have been painted here (however this picture was obviously before I gave the guard a good wipe-down prior to resin).

The pickguard ended up looking great on the guitar... another happy customer!
