I just found this site and thought I should share. If you want to make your own pickguard here is where you will find the templates you need.

Print one out at full size (not fit to page)and stick it to a blank or whatever it is you are using with spray adhesive. I am using Coreldraw to plot out a DXF file and cut acrylic with my laser cutter. Sort of cheating, I know.
I hope this helps.

Perfect timing! I was planning on trying to make a pickguard this afternoon. Thanks Pablo!

Be aware, some of these will need a bit of push and pull to get perfect. My first attempt had holes over cavities and the outline was a bit out.

Thats why its a good idea to cut a mm or two to refine the shape!
Damn, now I wish I had a laser cutter...

*nods* Yep, was just going to use them as a starting point to create a custom fit paper template for this specific build before I start hacking away at the acrylic.

I doubt a school boy could raise that much Pablo,
is that what your laser cutter is worth ?

That's about what we paid for it. It's getting a bit long in the tooth now.
