I've searched for templates some time ago..but it seems that on the web you can't have it unless you paid something..

hi

i think i will do a proper drawing myself
as I can cut pickguards whenever i like on the machine in work

I will make it available to people who want it
unless i am likely to get sued by fender!!

ciao

I do a little cadwork, let me know if I can help.  Are you only restricted to pickguards, or can you do bodies as well?

cheers darrell

i will do in Illustrator as thats what i know
but dwg's/dxf's are compatible with Illustrator

i will probably just scan my one and redraw

i can plot drawings and compare to fine tune it

will keep you posted!

I can work Illustrator very well and I have access to a large-format scanner.  Let me know if there's anything I can help with.
