weird pickguard

what's that on Paul Kantner's pickguard (Rickenbacker). Is that one of those 3D postcard type things? It's not a hologram, I don't think they had holograms in the 1960s.

Great footage! Didn't know of this one!

I think it's the same material as they used on the "Rickenbacker LightShow" (a rickenbacker, with a built in disco-lighting system: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMse1Ob9-CE ) guitars. Sadly enough, it isn't available anymore.

That is obviously not a stock pickguard in the video, it's some psychedelic thing he put on there.

Yeah, I know about those guitars.
