Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor (Before and After)

Did not quite like the pickguard on my guitar. So I took the suggestion of someone on a forum. I used nail polish remover on the front of it, and black magic marker on the back of it. I like it. It's not quite perfectly black, but I like it.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Addendum:

Didn't really expect to play tonight. But I ended up having a difficult time  putting the guitar down. Went through some repertoire, and really worked on the Gershwin tune. It's just about done, and I'll probably record it tomorrow. Buzz on the guitar was giving me some problems, but by the time I was finished tinkering with it trying to fix it, and done playing, I think the buzz may be back under control.
