Custom Guitar Pickguards
Yesterday I had the opportunity to design and make custom guitar pickguards! A challenge for sure … and I challenge I accepted!!
I received the original pickguards off a variety of guitars (not all pictured). From there I had to take pictures, draft out the shapes. Lining up every hole, every angle, every curve! Template after template, piece after piece; these pickguards took a bit of time to get exact. Finally, I had each piece perfect! At last I was able to Laser cut the final products out of wine red mirrored acrylic. Within no time … I had all the pickguards laser cut and ready for engraving.
When you engrave mirror acrylic from the back, it gives off a ghost-like engraving. You can see the engraving from a certain angle or when the light hits it. Luckily … that is EXACTLY what the owner had pictured!
In the end … These came out amazing to say the least and I had another happy client!
