Members rusholmeruffian Posted April 11, 2011 Members Share Posted April 11, 2011 I am putting together a faux Tele Deluxe. (It'll be sexy--black body, chrome hardware, mirror pickguard.) I will need to enlarge the pickguard's bridge cutout by a millimeter or two on each side. In the past I've used my Dremel for this, but it's not ideal. Should I just file it down, or can I cut it cleanly with a micro saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kid Klash Posted April 11, 2011 Members Share Posted April 11, 2011 I use a file and a Dremel for a job like you're describing... the file to open up the overall width, and the Dremel to give me the perfect arc between straight edges.

Members vintage clubber Posted April 11, 2011 Members Share Posted April 11, 2011 dremel with the wheel cutter. I just did this on a strat copy pickguard to accomodate a new trem that was wider than the stock one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted April 11, 2011 Members Share Posted April 11, 2011 If you cut a little inside and then file/scrape to a scribe mark it will look much cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
