More broken screws, I am definitely going on to Real Parts to order a full set of screws for my tele! I need some replacement fine tuning screws for the Floyd anyway.

Wow, yeah that really sucks. I mean the hardware can be a bit iffy but it seems like those are a particularly bad batch of screws.

Lapsed into forgetting to photograph the evidence.

Nice pickguard Mark.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the pickguard material from and what do you cut it with?

[king casey]

Thanks chaps.

Colin, I get a blank sheet from here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Musiclil...72.m2749.l2649

I can usually get 2 pickguards off this sheet.
One for this guitar and another for the Bronco bass.

I mark it out from a used pickguard with texta, then cut it out with a jig-saw.

I use the Ozito rotary tool to get the round edges and sandpaper stuck to a flat ruler for the straight ones.

cheers, Mark.

edit: I haven't done the bevelled edge yet but use a medium file to do that .
Aim is to get all 3 ply's the same thickness all round.

Thanks Mark, much appreciated.

You can get pick guard sheets from a few places I generally use Real Parts:
