pickguard line drawing

[Pkomor]

Hi, i want to make a clear acrylic pickguard for my 2004 sr4 (trans teal) using a lazer cutter (which i have access to). I need to have a line drawing of the pickguard to use to cut out the shape, i was wondering, does anyone have one?

the file format would ideally be .dxf but i could try with any other format!

thanks for your help, Pete.

If you look on ebay, you can find the guy that sells clear pickguards.

This can actually be done pretty easily man. Remove you old PG, using a very fine point pencil or pen, trace it. Then you need to scan the tracing and save the file as a JPEG (I think I can check this out tomorrow morning). the JPEG can be brought into most CAD packages and converted to a spline. Once in this format, it can be saved off as a DXF file.

I'm about to do this for my Silo Special. Juts having a hard time finding the time.

Hope this helps, Glenn |B)

I'd be interested to know if you managed it? I don't have access to a pick guard to trace but looking for a dxf or dwg!

Still cheaper to buy the ones cut by dazbootman.
