A little update on where I'm currently at with this build:

Made a template for the pick guard out of MDF. Hadn't finished the shaping when this photo was taken as i decided to remake it with some thicker MDF (and of course i forgot to take a photo of that)



My initial plan for this guitar was 3 ply B/W/B but for some reason i decided to make a pearloid guard just to see and also to test out my method of shaping it. Still not sure on the combo but will probably finish making it incase i feel like a little change down the road.





I prefer it with the 3 ply black. This was about the point i realised that id slightly melted the edges with the dremel trying to polish where i put a 45 on it



A little bit of careful blocking to fix the edge and also drilled and beveled the screw holes
