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:

Re: Fun middle pickup replacement
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.

Re: Fun middle pickup replacement
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
