Just got a cheapo Acrylic body Wesley guitar that is crying out for a Green pearloid pickguard to tip the thing over into total ugh realms.

Its a Strat-a-like but the pickguard is slightly different and the proper strat pickguard just doesn't look quite right SO i can either buy a green blank and cut it myself OR if anyone out there is proficient at it and can offer services and lemme know how much i can get this done.

may have access to a woodworking workshop in the near future so does anyone know what the 'typical' tool is foe cutiing out the pups and sloping the edges nicely? Google hasn't been an enormous help so any experience welcome.

the thread that led to this abomination, and my reviews on page 2 is HERE

Also anyone have a spare conversion neck for a strat to make it gibson length??

This should help if you plan to copy it yourself.

Perfect! Thanks.

i've just found out a whole false economy around green pearloid....the strat guards are super cheap to buy but the blanks are much more expensive than more standard kinds. Fuck false economies!

The only UK supplier sells it for 46 QUID. Can get strat guard for 12.50 quid. the mind boggles.

i did a series of how to pics and tutorials way back, i wonder if they got lost in the crash or not.
basically, cut some shit, then route some shit, and then use a 45 degree router bit to make shit look tite!
