Did you have problems with pickguard shrinkage?

Was checking on the parts yesterday for these builds and placed the spitfire guard on a table. I noticed it warped a tad bit from sitting unused for a while. Immediately I screwed it on to the maverick. Spitfire is so close to original fender tort that it even ages the same. There seriously isn't anything out there as good as Spitfires stuff.

Please hit me up with comments/questions/corrections.
Does anyone still have access to these string tree dimensions/specs? I would love to get my hands on them for a custom build I am doing. Thank you so much in advance! Best regards, Andrew

Paint is done! Custom shielding plates Cooter made are in. Sticking with the squier Venus pickups for now. Maybe I’ll get some novaks down the line. Still need to get some pickguard screws, selector knob and wire it up but it’s almost done. Stoked to finally have a matching Maverick and Xii after 10 long years of building these two guitars.
