THE ART OF PRECISION ENGRAVING

​

Custom engraving allows you to add another layer of personality to your build, whether you want subtle branding or an intricate artistic pattern. At bespokeguitarparts.com, we can engrave any design into any of our available materials.

​

Versatile Surface Engraving

​

We offer the flexibility to engrave on either the top or bottom surface of your pickguard.

​

• Top Surface Engraving: This creates a tactile feel and a traditional look that stands out against the material’s finish.

• Bottom Surface Engraving: When applied to clear cast acrylic, engraving on the underside protects the design from player wear while adding a sleek, sophisticated depth.

 

Enhancing Depth and Dimension

​

While engraving works on all our materials, certain configurations offer unique visual advantages:

​

• 4-Ply and 5-Ply Materials: These are the ideal candidates for engraving. The multi-layered construction allows the engraving to bite through the surface layer and reveal the contrasting colors beneath, creating a bold "pinstripe" effect within your design that matches the beveled edges. [1]

• Acrylic Bases for 3D Effects: We can use engraving on our cast acrylic bases to create striking 3D relief effects. By layering the engraving or combining it with our custom graphics, we build depth and texture that traditional flat prints simply can't achieve. [1, 2]

Pro Tip: For a truly "floating" aesthetic, try bottom-engraving a pattern on clear cast acrylic. The design will appear suspended within the material, giving your guitar a futuristic, high-end look.
