Neck Fitting Question

grrtele · May 7th, 2008, 04:16 PM

I am working on my first project. I have a stained body that I do not want cover up with a pickguard on. The neck/body joint is not really pretty. Is there anything that I can use help make the joint look better. A pickguard would help cover this area but I'm not sure I want to cover the stained wood. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

If there is an attractive way you can cut the neck/rhythm pickup area out of a Tele pickguard, you may have solved your problem. What about the fourth rout?

It's hollow I don't have that problem. Your solution was about the only viable option I could think of too. Thanks, for the input.

Try to post a couple of pics, it's too vague to offer solutions without seeing the trouble.
