Great idea for the pick guard, must be a way to cut it nicely... I am an ex RAAF photographer , was in for 8 years

Great to meet up with ex service fella's Stan, I was in the MT trade, ever posted to laverton? I spent a good 6 years there, also 6 at Point cook, along with a naughty few years in support command (did a lot of trips up north-ish from Sup-com.)/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from stan on November 29, 2013, 12:27

Generally, laminate is reasonably easy to trim/ cut to size, then sand/ rout to final shape..I must have gotten a crappy reject sample.

I ended up making a scratch plate from 2 mm 5 ply, and did a little gilding on it, not too sure if I like my name how I did it. so it may be coming off. What the thoughts.. make it plain? ( not attached on yet, just have it sitting in possy), apart from that I reckon I've got it finished now.

awesome AJ, love the brown scratchplate, stick with it, when the website stabilises (I've been having trouble uploading pics too) keen to see some more closeups. You may need to bolt it down from the tele napper !

Had a look at the pics on your Facebook page and, personally, I think you should keep the scratchplate how it is. It looks great AJ.
