Musiclily Pro 435x290mm Foglio di materiale per battipenna per chitarra elettrica e basso, piastra antigraffio, 3 strati

This was for a pickguard cut out for a strat shaped bass. Two pickup cutouts, some tight radii around the neck and 6 holes for pots and switches. Then the holes were drilled for the pickguard screws �Cabout 1/4�� from the edges. It was a chore, but the cuts were clean and the material stayed intact.I used the Dremel Rotary cutter at low speed and a coping saw blade when things were a straighter cut. If it��s your first time, try it on similar material or use a portion that isn��t on your finished line �Cfor practice. Things can go terribly wrong when the dremel walks or chatters. This can be controlled with technique, but it requires practice. Also a drill bit can get a bit too aggressive on this material near the edge and cause breakout. Plastic bits or a glass spade bit are nice to have and cut without grabbing the material. A Unibit also works well.There was no chipping of the top layer and the finished product looks as good as anything coming out of a guitar factory these days. Compared to a Sterling or Ibanez pickguard, it��s on par. I got tortoise and pearl green. Both are very typical of the popular instrument wrap on higher end drums or plastic pickguard material. This plastic doesn��t present like a cheap knockoff. Top layer is pretty thin, but it isn��t just a decal. It��s a plastic layer of durable material with depth and a pearl look to it. It was a GOOD BUY... ok, Good bye

Product was packaged well, and arrived with protective film coating that removed easily in one piece. The blank is great quality, same feel and thickness as guards I've bought from premium guitar parts companies. Bought this to practice engraving on for a custom build, but I could easily see using this for any guitar build.

I used this material to cut a pickguard for a scratch-built guitar, see photo. This material machined well, and the aged white color was a great choice for the worn look I wanted for this build. I'm very happy with the product and the end result.Pro tip: for an extra degree of worn-in appearance, cut the pickguard so the matte backside of the material faces front!

I've never made a pick guard before and my ASAT classic alnico le is almost impossible to find online, so I thought I'd give this a shot. I'm glad I did! Really think it turned out great.I traced my old guard out onto 1/2" MDF and cut that out with a jig saw getting close to my line. Then I used double sided tape to tape my old guard to the MDF. I used a flush trim bit raised just high enough to roll on the old guard to finish out the cutting on the MDF. I sanded any bumps I had on the MDF to make nice, smooth, sweeping lines. Then I traced the old guard onto the blank and cut just outside the line with my jigsaw. I placed that onto the MDF and used the flush trim bit to do a final cut on the blank. Finally, I used a 30�� bevel bit to put a chamfer on the new guard.Take it slow and it will look great! High quality and easy to cut.

This is high quality material. I've been searching for an accurate mint green color. It's very hard to find. This mint green is the closest I've found on Amazon. I've been impressed with Musiclily on most of their products. I'm attaching a picture of the mint green blank next to my 1964 Stratocaster so you can see how close it is. Maybe a rub with some brown shoe polish will get it even closer. All in all, I would recommend this pickguard and color.
