That pick guard looks amazingly like the one I made from scratch for my Carvin SC90. When I converted it to a single volume/tone control instead of the dual-controls setup, I had to figure out how to hide the holes the removal of the two knobs left, so I fabricated this pick guard. I wanted something that looked "retro" and this is what I came up with. THEY STOLE MY DESIGN!.

Thank you so much! It was a royal pain in the asterisk! NOTHING will cut that stuff cleanly but a router. I tried every kind of saw and Dremel attachment I could find. I was finally reduced to making a jig from 3/4" thick pine cut to the exact outline of the pick guard to serve as a router template. Then sanding its edges to be smooth as a baby's butt for a clean router cut. Then had to order two router bits, one to make the original cut and another to put a 45-degree bevel on it. I didn't have a shop, so it was all done on my kitchen table. When I was done my entire kitchen and living room was covered in router and sanding dust. NEVER AGAIN!
A fine job you did on that pickguard too!!! Great finish for your single control conversion!
Get a load of this...when I was talking with my sales guy that day, I tried to tweak him. No flex on price, shipping is free, have to pay tax...I said after 3 guitars I should at least get a free shirt. He laughed and agreed and asked me for size and color.
My guitar came today, no shirt. I was tempted to call or write but the guitar is so sweet I figured WTH.
Fed Ex just now dropped of my bleeping shirt! Really! Yes, If I was not before I AM a huge fan of Dave's Guitars!!!
