What Eddie Van Halen did to his guitar, was put duct tape on it, spray paint it a different colour, and then remove the tape, so that it had stripes of the old colour left on!
Use gaffers tape. Rip thin strips of varying length. Have the criss-cross in a grid-like thatched manner. Used to do it to work benches in college to drive the professors crazy. Did it to my old laptop and looked really good. Would probably work on a guitar.

I thought duct tape fixes everything? Well, don't fix what isn't broken, I guess.
If you really wanted to do something with tape, you can put masking tape then paint over it, but I wouldn't do that unless you remove the finish.
