This page offers these designs as high-gloss laminated vinyl sheets in a 50×60 cm body size or a 27.5×33 cm pickguard size, with some in stock and most printed to order.

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

Where will the lightning bolts sit on my body shape?

The 50×60 cm sheet covers a whole body, so you can shift it before cutting to place the main strike across the lower bout or angled towards the neck. Cutting round the body outline will lose some of the edge artwork, so lay the sheet over the guitar first to choose the best section.

Will the colours look as bright as the images?

The high-gloss laminate gives the bolts a sharp, glowing look against the darker storm clouds, and no clear coat is needed on top. Screens vary, so a deep blue or crimson may look slightly different in daylight on the finished guitar.

How do I clean the skin once it is applied?

Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Avoid solvents and abrasive polishes, as they can dull the gloss laminate over the printed lightning.
