My '63 duosonic pickguard template was damaged and I'm making a new one.
I want to double check the distance down the center from neck pocket to bridge cutout.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i JUST sold my 59 guard to stewart, im guesssing that within this week he should have it, tho he is in scotland, and it shipped from the midwest sooo it could take a bit longer.

Thanks guys. 8)
I'm hoping someone may see this that has a duosonic handy and can get it pretty quick.
I have the body made and ready to ship, just need to knock out a pickguard for it.
I didn't know my original template had got broken until I started to cut the pickguard. :oops:

I just measured the 2 I have in my stash.
One is 1 ply offwhite/cream and has a WD sticker on the back, I measure it as a little over 156mm (156.25ish)
The other one is a crappy tort (just like this) and measures a little smaller, about 155.5mm
I would probably go with the slighltly larger size personally.

Yes! Thank you very much. The 156.25 converts to 6.15" which is what I was measuring on what's left of my template.

Thanks everyone.
