Making a pickguard for a MIJ guitar

[Scifi]

I'm trying to put together a Univox guitar out of parts I collected and noticed that the outlines from the missing pickguard was visible on the guitar body. I used this to trace out the shape with a Sharpie on a piece of clear plastic which I cut out and will use as a template for making a pickguard from a piece of pickguard material. I have a handheld jig saw and that should work for cutting the pickguard. Its too thick for scissors or metal shears. I posted some pictures here already

Here's the pickguard so far after cutting it out with a jig saw and touching it up with a grinding wheel on a drill press and Dremel tool.

Looking forward to seeing the finished version.

Me too!

I loved my old Univox "Mosrite" as well as another solid-bodied/double-cutaway that was very similar to The Beast (a Gretsch) that Malcolm Young played @ his prime.
