Anyone know of anywhere you can get some pickguard templates out of MDF or simular? Thanks!

What types are you looking for. You can buy cheap single ply pick gaurds from various places and use them as templates. Guitar Fetish has them, Warmoth has them, Stew Mac has them etc. etc.

If you're looking for templates, I am assuming you have the ability to make PG's from the templates. If you have those tools, then you can make a template from a template, so to speak.

I currently make custom pickguards out of pvc sheets, but for traditional pickguards like teles, strats, and so on I was just curious if anyone knew of anywhere that sold templates, as I'm sure the templates wouldn't cost much more than the pickguards themselves, and saving some time from having to buy the pickguard I need then making the template. It takes me damn near as long to make a pickguard as the guitar itself =P If they arent sold anywhere then I will go down the road of making templates, but thought I'd ask first.

I think most of us just make our own either based off of tracings or PDFs. Check the template PDF (https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxndWl0YXJwbGFuc2NvbGxlY3Rp b258Z3g6NWJkMWQwMjBjZDQzMmY3YQ) thread for the latter. I've also made several pickguard templates based off of PDFs I downloaded from Terrapin Guitar's PDF page. (http://www.terrapinguitars.com/index_php.php?content=pdfContent)
