Ok wokka ill keep that in mind. Reshaping the pickguard slightly sounds like a cool idea. Will check the cavities when it arrives and let you know. will def need more advice. Cheers.

Ok been checking out the pickguard sizes from the one that is supplied with the kit to the one on ebay i want to buy. I think the original Gibson SG ha a longer neck so the pickguard is different, its also bigger because it has holes drilled in it for the bridge. Im not too worried, i want to customise it. So question is do you use a dremmel to reshape it and to get the bevelled edge?
Pictures below..
The pickguard i want to get.....

Now that looks nice...
You could use a dremmel, a router table or hand file it

Thanks mate, will use a dremmel, any excuse to go out and buy another tool! Cheers

Hi Nitro, I use a flat file to bevel the pickguard edges, you could use a dremmel but if you slip could mark the top of the pickguard.
Up to you but dremmels are a pretty handy tool, they can be used for many different jobs

just go slow with the Dremel on plastics or it will melt them

Ok, i might use a dremmel to rough out the size then finish off with a flat file. Might buy a dremmel stand as well. Cheers
