Seeking Advice on Hello Kitty Guitar Pickguards

I’m a huge fan of Hello Kitty and I play guitar, so I thought it would be awesome to customize my instrument with a Hello Kitty pickguard. I’ve been searching online, but I’m not having much luck finding anything specific.

Here are a few points I’m considering:

  • Pre-made Options: Are there any retailers that actually sell Hello Kitty-themed pickguards? If so, which ones do you recommend?
  • DIY Ideas: I’m also open to DIY projects. Has anyone tried customizing their own pickguard? What materials did you use, and do you have any tips to make it look good?
  • Design Inspiration: If you have any designs or concepts in mind, or if you’ve seen cool examples online, please share!

A Little About Me:

I’ve been playing guitar for a few years now, and I love mixing music with my personal style. My guitar is my main instrument, and I like to make it unique, so I’m all about customizing it.

I appreciate any help or suggestions you all can provide. Looking forward to your ideas!

I’m on the hunt for a Hello Kitty guitar pickguard too! When choosing one, consider the material. I think acrylic is popular for its durability and look.

Absolutely! A good resin pickguard can also give a unique look. Plus, the design options are endless! Have you seen the ones with glitter?

4

Don’t forget about compatibility with your guitar model. Some pickguards only fit certain brands, so double-check before purchasing!

Good point! I’ve learned that the hard way with my Fender Strat. Make sure to check online forums for fellow owners’ experiences.

Design options can really make or break a pickguard. Going for a vibrant Hello Kitty design or something more subtle? What’s everyone’s preference?

I’m a fan of the colorful options! A bright pink pickguard could really stand out on a black guitar. What do you all think?

Definitely! Just make sure it doesn’t clash with your strap or other accessories.

I’ve even seen custom designs on websites that cater to Hello Kitty fans! It’s worth checking if you want something unique.

That’s a cool option, amy33! But how do you think the custom designs hold up over time?

I think durability in terms of material is critical. Acrylic or high-quality plastic usually lasts longer compared to others.

True, but some like the traditional tortoiseshell look too. It’s more about preference!

For those who have experience with pickguards, how long can you typically expect them to last?

I’ve had mine for years, and it still looks great. It’s about how you take care of it! Regular cleaning goes a long way.

Cleaning is an overlooked part of guitar maintenance. It can really prolong the life of your pickguard, not just the pickups.

Well said! Any specific cleaning products you recommend for pickguards?

17

I just use water and a soft cloth, but someone once told me that guitar polish can work well if you want to keep that shine!

18

Has anyone tried applying decals? There are some super cute Hello Kitty ones on Etsy that would fit well on a guitar pickguard.

19

Decals are a great idea! You can also use clear coat spray to protect them. Anyone know a good spray to use?

I once painted my pickguard with acrylic paint and it turned out awesome! Just make sure to seal it afterward.
