Any of you guys do your own pickguards/places to get cheap ones...?
« on: March 20, 2009, 12:01:29 AM »
Aye it's a longshot but ah well... I really would love a checkered (black and white) pickguard for my Tele. The ones from ebay, allparts and the likes are above £20 which I don't really want to spend right now... Any of you guys make pickguards, or do you know somewhere I could find them cheaper..?

Thanks!

When I've needed them I just cut them from a blank. Easy, cheaper.

A blank sheet of the checker board stuff is £30 even before cutting a pickguard

OK - you could just about get two tele plates but you still have labour time and risk involved

The precut one looks all the more attractive
