Re: Flattening pickguard
It might be very flammable. I would advise against heating a celluloid pickguard (and if you don't know the material, I'd err on the side of caution.)Last edited by Silence Kid; 08-30-2018, 05:34 PM.Originally posted by King BuzzoI love when people come up to me and say “Your guitar sound was better on Stoner Witch, when you used a Les Paul. “...I used a Fender Mustang reissue on that, dumbass!

Re: Flattening pickguard
Maybe try what I did with a couple records that were badly warped. Heat up a massive pot of water, sit the pickguard between two sheets of glass if available (I used photo frame sheets that I had on hand), tea towel between the pot and sheet. since it's just plastic, and not vinyl that can have the tracks damaged, you could get away with baking trays. Worth a try anyway.
