Skull Guitar Skins & Dark Art

Dark artwork gives a guitar or bass body a bold focal point, with skulls, reapers, ghouls and skeleton knights set against roses, crows, butterflies and tarot-style frames. This page offers high-gloss laminated vinyl skins in a 50×60 cm sheet for a whole body or a 27.5×33 cm sheet for a pickguard, 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 does the skull sit on bodies with sharp horns or deep cutaways?

You position the 50×60 cm sheet yourself before trimming, so you can centre the skull or figure on the lower bout where it stays clear of the bridge, pickups and controls. On tarot card or portrait designs, check the frame edges will not be cut off by the horns before you trim.

Will the dark backgrounds show scratches or fingerprints?

The high-gloss laminate protects the print, so light scuffs stay on the surface layer rather than in the artwork. Fingerprints show more on black backgrounds, so wipe the skin with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth and avoid solvents or abrasive polish.

Can I put a skull design on the pickguard only?

Yes, the 27.5×33 cm pickguard sheet lets you apply designs such as a sugar skull or reaper to the guard while leaving the body finish untouched. It needs no clear coat, and you can trim it around pickup and control cut-outs with a sharp craft knife.
