Of the pickguard makers advertising, how can I be sure that the types they make are exact versions for the instrument required? Or, to put it another way, who can confidently say that they will do a version of say a US Precision plate where the screws are in exactly the right place? I know that said plate does fit one of my instruments and the screw holes line up. I'd be cheesed off if I bought a new plate (in say a non-standard colour) only to find that, having been advertised as a certain type, that it wasn't a correct fit for one reason or another.

Many will offer a downloadable template, which does kind of work if you set up your printer correctly.

Funny you should mention that as I'd done just that this morning before I popped over to BassChat. NorthWest Guitars in this case who I have purchased from before and had great service.

Does this actually work and provide a hard enough wearing finish?
The worst thing would be to have a peeling flaking pickguard that was then no use in its original colour.

If sanded down properly and clean properly shodn t be a problem , however you can use polycrylic after painted and that should do it .
