I was inspired by a reader to make a solid body guitar with a crackle finish. I've found a solution for using plain spray cans of enamel to create the crackle in whatever color I want.
I'll post pictures soon.
However, I'm having a planning issue with the pickguard. Originally, the guitar was a Peavey Raptor or Predator with two single pups and one hum pup. I'm going with one hum pup so I'll need to get a new pickguard. No big deal, however I have two questions.
1. I remember seeing a DIY on how to make a pickguard out of trash can plastic, anyone remember this?
2. Any suggestions on crackling pickguard plastic? I think this might be tricky and not possible as crackle finishes are rather delicate if unfinished.
Anyone have any other suggestions on a pickguard to match a crackly finish?
