Black & White Guitar Skins

Black and white artwork gives a guitar body strong contrast that reads clearly from a stage, whether it is a hypnotic vortex, branch and tree silhouettes, scattered leaves, paisley or zebra fur stripes. Each design comes as a high-gloss laminated vinyl sheet in 50×60 cm for a whole body or 27.5×33 cm for a pickguard.

Two sizes, one design

The full body sheet (50×60 cm) covers the front and sides of any guitar or bass body in one piece. The pickguard sheet (27.5×33 cm) carries the whole design scaled down, ready to cut to a Tele or a Strat pickguard.

Common questions

How do striped and vortex designs sit on a curved body shape?

Spiral and stripe patterns bend slightly as the vinyl follows the edges and cutaways, so it helps to centre the middle of the vortex where you want the eye drawn, often near the bridge or the lower bout. Trim the excess around the outline and the lines will follow the body's curves naturally.

Will the black areas look grey or faded under stage lights?

No, the print is laminated with a high-gloss finish, so the blacks stay deep and the whites stay clean without needing a clear coat on top. The gloss does reflect light, much like a painted finish.

Can I use a body sheet and a pickguard sheet together?

Yes, you can order the same design in both sizes for a matching look, or put a plain pattern such as the leaf or zebra stripes on the pickguard against a busier body. Most designs are printed to order, so allow a little extra time for those not in stock.
