This is the #1. It started life as a murdered out metal machine, so naturally I had to class it up. Charvel Pro Mod So Cal Style 2.

    Oh wow that looks great! Love the contrast between the black of the body and the pink of the flowers. Also I love the irony of playing heavy fucking metal out of a Telecaster shaped body.

      Thanks!

      tbf this is what it looked like when I got it, very much a metal Tele.

        the pickguard really defines the personality of the guitar so much, this feels like a completely different instrument.

    Looks amazing! Any tips on how to cut plastic so that it looks as professional as yours does?

      Thanks! Honestly the only real tip I have is that it’s almost hard to mess it up if you have a router table at your disposal. I wouldn’t feel confident making a pickguard with anything else really.

        nice. i bet the body weighs a good bit unless there’s some relief in there!

        always a fan of zero inlay necks, they look so clean. the white on maple really works for me

          The pickguard isn’t actually covering up any electronics cavities, but some of them do have weight relief cavities under the pickguard. Mine is solid though, about 8lbs iirc

    That is so so awesome. I had a seafoam green bass that I was going to paint flowers on the pickguard. This makes me wish I had actually done it.

    I like prints of pickguards way better than prints on the body itself, always looks like a window to another realm. Really looks great!
