HI Shimmix,
you can cut the pickguard material with a fine bladed saw, but it is far easier to use a coping saw as it is far more maneuverable. You can cut it roughly to your required shape with a hacksaw and then tidy up the detail work with sandpaper/files.
the other thing you can do is to make an MDF template, and then use a small trim router to cut to shape. you can get a 45 degree trimming bit with a guide bearing which will also allow you to bevel the edge.
FOrum member Pablo pepper also custom cuts these for people and he may be able to help if you are not sure how to go about doing it yourself.
Cheers and good luck with your build!
