Title: Clear pickguards?
Post by: Fubar on December 02, 2006, 02:58:23 PM

Anyone know of a UK stockist of an 11 hole clear strat pickguard? I'm thinking of using one and sticking a design to the underside of some polenesian tattoo images.

Have tried googling and haven't been able to find any. :evil:

Thanking you kindly!  :)

Second option in UK

WD Music

How do I order a custom made pickguard?

We require a very accurate and to scale outline of the guard, with all screw holes and slots clearly indicated. We scan your outline in to a computer and get a CNC machine to cut it so your outline will need to be very accurate. Here's how to produce a tracing -

1) Please use only a clean, sharp-pointed writing instrument such as a pencil, pen, or fine tip roller pen. Do NOT use magic markers or anything with a wide tip.

2) Please trace carefully, top side up, on a piece of paper (standard printer/copier paper is recommended. Do NOT use napkins, tracing paper, corrugated cardboard, etc. Also, faxes and photocopies are not acceptable as they can distort the shape and size.

3) Please do NOT cut out the tracing once completed.

REMEMBER:

•Your custom guard can only be as good as your tracing, so take your time and follow the above instructions, as custom pickguards are NOT returnable.

•Please remember to indicate the colour of the pickguard that you're requesting and provide contact information for yourself so that we may notify you of the cost of your custom guard.

They (WD) do a stock clear one (11 hole) without the need for a tracing

However WD can take forever to come! Arrrhhhh. Stewmac would probably be ok for just a pickguard (they are USA) and I have known them to do next day delivery! FROM THE STATES!

They're really easy to make, especially if you've got the old one to trace round.

Probably worth keeping an eye on www.axesrus.com aswell.
