Post by Blurillaz »

I need to have a custom pickguard made for a project of mine, does anyone know of a company that will make it for me?

Just a boring ol' strat pickguard, though it needs some things from the original taken off and some things added in.

If you're in the US it may be worth checking if you can get what you want from Warmoth, for strat guards they're pretty quick and offer a lot of customization as far as screw pattern and routes/control layout... also they're about 25-30 bucks, which will be cheaper than dealing with a from-scratch custom strat guard.

i suggest you start and end your search with this guy

http://stores.ebay.com/The-Guitar-Parts-Center

i emailed him a drawing of exactly what i wanted with a custom made single coil SG pickguard with things left out, he emailed me a price, i paypaled him the amount and got the pickguard in 3 fucking days. insane turnaround time.
