As for coping saws, they seem like a good idea. Flexible yet tough, the material is a great choice for sports. After doing some rough cuts with a jigsaw and power saw, the job was pretty much done Cleaning up was done by using a file. As well as an x-ray, I used a pair of binoculars By 'scraping' a 45o angle on the edge of a knife, you'll create a bevel. I was surprised at how well it worked.
The tape is not for use with adhesive, since it's for an electric device
It had a protective plastic covering on top as well. I have the white model with the gloss side.
The white core with black outer layer was the one I used. I am satisfied with the results. I really like the way the pick guard turned out!

Pickguard cut out for a bass in the shape of the strat. It has two pickup cutouts, six holes for pots and switches, a tight radius around the neck, and two pickup cutouts. After drilling the holes for the pickguard screws -about 1/4" from the edge-, the pickguard was mounted. While it was a chore to cut the drywall, it was clean, and the material did not come apart. I used a Dremel Rotary cutter at low speed when cutting straight lines, and a coping saw blade for curved cuts. The dremel can go horribly wrong if it walks or chatters while you are using it for the first time. It is best to first practice on similar material or use a portion that doesn't go to your finished line. It can be controlled by technique, but practice is necessary. A drill bit can also get a bit too aggressive when drilling this material near the edge and cause it to break. Having plastic bits or a glass spade bit is useful because you can cut the material without grabbing it. It is also possible to use a Unibit. No chips appeared on the top layer of the guitar and the finished product is as good as anything coming out of a guitar factory nowadays. The pickguard is comparable to the ones on Sterling and Ibanez guitars. To my surprise, the green and tortoise colors were available. This material is usually found on higher-end drums and high-end pickguards, both of which are very typical of the popular instrument wraps. It's not at all obvious that this is a knockoff plastic. It is not a simple decal, even though the top layer is thin. I want to describe it as a plastic layer with a pearly look and a depth Buying this item was a good decision. That's all I have to say for now, good.
The brown-colored fur has a sheen to it A ish tort is a tasty treat In fact, that's just fine and actually makes a lot of sense. The following I saw it exactly as it appeared on their website! I can only imagine what it would be like! This color tort was my choice, and I got two of them in two different orders - I was very happy with it! I apologize for my error The only problem with it is that I like it and I Keep in mind that the original pickguards are beveled at 45 degrees. This is not possible with a laminate cutter or by sanding it until it looks It is an exceptional value The following Regardless of the price, it would be a good price if it was even doubled*(Dear Musiclilly -- It was not my intention to say that.
Pickguard material of very high quality at a great price. I manufacture thinline partscasters and I like to move the control positions from the "stock" location, so as to be able to use the pickguards, I have to make my own. The short course consists of the following components Creating a template is easy. The 1/4" MDF I use is a good quality. A little larger than the template, cut the pickguard blank. The spiral blade on my scrollsaw is used for speed. The blank should be attached to the template using double-sided tape and pressed When I do pressure and routing, I use barbell weights and wait an hour before starting. The 1/4" Whiteside spiral flush trim bit on a router table is used to trim to size and the 45 degree bit is used for angling the edges. Separating the guard from the template requires the use of an auto trim plastic tool. Here are a few useful tips Be sure to lightly sand the sharpened edge before cutting.
Materials like this are great for those who like to work with them. By tracing the old pickguard on the new material and cutting it with a rotary dental handpiece with a long thin bit, I replaced the old one. I think it's like a $1,500 dremmel on steroids, but a dremmel might be able to do the same thing if it can be held correctly. You may then grind the edges a bit larger after roughing them out. In order to brush off the edges easily, I used 400-grit sandpaper. I finished by using 1500 grit sandpaper. The screws' heads were countersunk after drilling with a countersink bit. There were no problems with the cut or finish of the material or with layers coming apart. There were videos of people cutting pickguard shapes from wood and then attaching this material to material cut from the The idea of sandpaper to shape the edges may be overkill if you are able to use right hand tools and can work with hand tools. Despite my hesitations, I am pleased with the.
Materials such as this are similar to the old celluloid pick guards from the 1950's During the 1960s. The pick guard would have shrunk more than the pick guard it replaced, but it cuts well, polishes at moderate speed without slurring, and won't change its size as much. Whenever I can, I save pick guards, but older Gibsons tend to shrink too much, or curl so much that they never appear as they should, no matter how carefully they are flattened and treated. It will be possible to remove these. By heating them gently, they will be able to be removed and reset. Although I am unable to say how long this lasts after installation, I would assume at least one.
Many of the guitars I own are Gibson and Epiphone Les Pauls. You may be surprised at how many sizes seem to have varied over the years but really do not match up with each other. It has been a long time since I looked for the larger Ace Frehley back plates. Those made by injection molding crack as they There is no better condition for my valuable instrument than new.
I used this product to make a guitar top plate that worked very well. We used some of it as fret board markers on the lap steel as well as cut some of it into slits. The results were better than I could have hoped for. I used a leather hone to polish the edges after fine-sanding them with 1000 grit sandpaper then I cut and sanded for shape. I was impressed by how well it worked.
The look and feel of items may be different if they are rendered in a solid color. As a player, I needed a pick guard that was of extended size. The pearloid finish is beautiful on the material, and it is more rigid than I expected. I have seen other plastics that are harder and glossier for pick guard replacements, but this stuff is harder and glossier. As a result, I am very pleased.
