ok, so now i want some kind of pickguard for my all black jackson DXMG(black finish/hardware/pickups ; i want it to have a unique look and since it plays great so i'm not seeling it for something else). I thought about mirror(a bit like the ibanez Universe 777/add some chrome pup rings instead of the stock black ones),white pearl or black pearl. So making a template for it should be no problem since i have the body to draw from. It won't be a pickguard with the pups and electronics attached but just a simple surfacial one to spice up the looks of this guitar. Making the guard itself won't be too much of a problem but now to my real questions:
-pups will be black, so what are your thoughts on what color guard and pup-rings to go for on a black finish?
-where can i get the basic material to make a pickguard out of(preferably in europe)?Both pearls aren't hard to find but mirror is difficult.
- any tips on screw placement to keep the guard in place without rattling?
-considering material: is 3-ply a necessarity or can i get away with single or 2-ply?
-how hard is it to work with those materials and what should be my prefered tools?
I'd appreciate any additional tips you guys might have.
regards,
Daniel
