I recommend primer first if you’re going to paint! It helps the colors pop. What colors are you thinking about?
I was thinking about pink and white, maybe with some glitter! Kinda going all out here.
Glitter sound fun! Have you checked out some tutorials on YouTube? They can provide great step-by-step guidance.
You could use washi tape for some cool designs too. It’s removable, so you could easily change if you want a new look!

That’s a neat idea! I love how versatile washi tape is. Anyone know if it sticks well on pickguards?
I’ve used it before and it sticks well! Just make sure to clean the surface first. You don’t want it coming off mid-performance!
How about mixing media? Like incorporating some fabric or lace with a decoupage technique for a unique touch?
That sounds artsy! Has anyone tried that? I’d love to hear more about how it looks.
It can look really great! Just use an acrylic medium to seal it. I’ve done something similar, and I loved the outcome!
Remember, though – more is more, unless it’s not. Don’t get too cluttered! Balance is key. Anyone else feel strongly about this?

Totally agreed! Too much can be overwhelming. Simplicity sometimes shines brighter, even with Hello Kitty!

This is such a fun project! I might just join in – but I think I’ll keep it simple. Who knew customizing could be so intense?

Yes, it’s like a mini art show! And Hello Kitty makes everything ten times cuter.
I found a few options on Amazon. Just search for ‘Hello Kitty guitar pickguard’ and you should see some listings. Make sure to read the reviews to ensure they’re genuine!
You can also check eBay! I bought a Hello Kitty pickguard there a while back. Just be mindful of the seller’s rating.
If you’re in the US, Guitar Center sometimes has unique designs, including those themed ones. It’s worth a call to see if they have any stock!
That’s great to know! I’ll definitely check them next time I’m near one. Thanks!
I personally got mine from a local guitar shop. They might have a few rare finds like Hello Kitty. You never know until you ask!

That’s a good tip! Local shops often carry unique items that online stores might not have.

Have any of you checked Etsy? They have a lot of handmade or custom items, including guitar pickguards that feature Hello Kitty designs. Just make sure they are reputable sellers.
