Diamond Plate & Industrial Guitar Skins

Printed tread plate, brushed steel and weathered rust give a guitar or bass body the look of worn machinery without adding any weight or real metal. This page lists vinyl sheets in full-body and pickguard sizes, from silver and dark diamond plate to a rusty door and a skull built from clockwork filigree.

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

Will the diamond pattern line up neatly on a curved body?

The sheet is applied as one piece, so the pattern follows the body without seams, though it will stretch slightly over tight curves and bevels. Small, regular patterns such as tread plate hide this stretching better than large single images.

Does the print look like real metal?

It is a flat photographic print with a high-gloss laminate, so it shows the texture and shading of brushed steel, tread plate or rust but has no raised surface. Up close it reads as a smooth printed finish rather than actual metal.

Which size should I order for just the pickguard?

The 27.5×33 cm sheet covers most standard pickguards, while the 50×60 cm sheet is meant for a whole guitar or bass body. Most designs are printed to order, so allow a little extra time if the one you want is not in stock.
