Making a strat pickguard

[espacecubase]

Hello !

Could you please tell me what program you used to draw the template from the original pickguard scan ?

Thanks a lot

@espacecubase I used Corel Draw but any vector based graphics editor will do fine.

Thank you for your answer.

One more question. Once you have reproduced the shape of the pickguard, what is the process to have the CNC interpreting it ? Do you export or save as DXF and feed the CNC machine directly with it ?

Thank you again.

@espacecubase This was laser cut. I had it done at a printing shop. I just handed the file I made in Corel Draw, but pdf, eps, cad or any other vector vile will do the job. As far as I could tell, the laser cuter acts just like a regular printer.

man I wish I had a laser like that :D

I need a see through acrylic strat pickguard, but there is not a single store in Europe selling clear pickguards -.-

Wouldn't it be faster and easier to just buy one?

@kdr26554 And where would be the fun in that? :)
