Hey people
So I have a strat that can be finished up pretty quickly. I wanna try doing something fun with it and not make it look like a regular strat. Thinking only bridge and neck pickup, plus I'll save some money on a mid pup. The pickguard I have is a one of a kind (strat is a harmony from like the 70s, it was an absolute POS), so I can't get a new guard. Someone had scratched "GOTHIC" into it with a knife, but I sprayed the guard and clear coated it lol.
Anyways, what can I stick in the middle pup slot to cover it up? Seen dummy coils, that's cool but not cool. Thought maybe a sticker? Maybe there are things I have no idea about?

Maybe something cast to pickup shape in polyester resin:

I don't think it'd be that difficult. You'd need to use a pickup cover as a mold for it (or maybe make a mold of the pickup cover or something).

Mudfuzz…
with the sorcery…
in the DIY thread.
The LED thing was my second idea.
I think most of the websites that sell stuff to do polyester resin casting have tutorials on "how to" as well.

Thanks for the suggestions 
still unsure exactly what I'm gonna do for pickups, but this is definitely a cool replacement for the mid pup
