If you use double sided tape, is there any worry about any chemicals in the tape that might make the surface of your guitar change color after a while where the tape touches?
@KuraMad2000 The tape I use comes from a scrap book store (Michaels, Hobby Lobby) and it's supposed to be very neutral and non-yellowing. Use high end tape and you can't go wrong. I've even seen some nicer double stick at the dollar store, but make sure it's the non-yellowing type.
@stevevairocks1 Use a razor blade, xacto knife, or any other sharp knife. A pocket knife will work too, just be careful and cut slowly. It cuts pretty easily.
Hey man! Great video. Really instructive. I am trying to make a custom pickguard for my Breedlove acoustic. Where did you get the vinere (sp?) from? I kind of want to make my pickguard come across a big portion of the guitar, so I would need a bigger piece than those you have there.
@BigG063 I don't remember if I replied to you already about the veneer, but just in case I didn't you can find the veneer in many sizes and species on the internet or at a fine woodworking store like WoodCraft. You can get it as big as 4x8 sheets if you like, though it won't be necessary to get something that big. Good luck.
