You want to enlarge the pickguard? It's fairly soft material, so you can route or file it.

I've just done exactly this with a Steve Morse Pickguard- I taped off the pickguard and used files to expand the area.

Other option is to order an aftermarket pickguard with larger pickup routes. You could contact Chander (pickguards.us).
 
yes, I want to enlarge it, because I am wondering change the pickup to a metal cover one, but the original hole just not fit.
I like to know what tools can expanding the hole and done just so accurate and perfectly.
