You probably noticed in the shot above, the shape was redrawn again.. as I have been working on other stuff, I’ll come back and re-examine the pickguard because after a few minutes of working on something else, I can get a different perspective and see things I was missing before.

I use golf grip tape to secure two straightedges to rout the top edge of the pickguard, note the diameter of the router bit will determine the radius of the corner cut, so you have to choose one that is correct for the pickup that will be used. Here 1/2 inch diameter is perfect.



how’s that look?



well I’m this far along…. Why not…..



just be sure you’re doing a righty for a right handed guitar.

A thing of beauty huh?
