Here it is all shaped. I put it on the body under the strings, and figured out where the strings would be in relation to the pickguard using a square. Then I figured out where the pickups should be placed, traced their outlines, and drilled some holes.
Maybe there's a better way to do this. I have no idea. My thought is that it would be easier to make it out of wood, than plastic. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Anyway...
I used a fine blade and my drill press, because it has holes in and I could put the pickguard on there for support, so I wouldn't break the thin wood while cutting it.
Nice, huh?
Ooh...
Ahh...
That little 1/2 inch sanding drum, wow, I just knew I'd use that for something, eventually.

ReplyDeletethe mm lookin fine. you know, this thing was made the same year i was born. on the same exact day. a guy named lester polished a little smudge off the finish with his sleeve and put it in the box at the very second my eyes saw the world for the first time. i swear to god this is what happened.
