Default TELE pickguard project
Hi peeps
just to share with you how I DIY my pickguard motif on my tele. This is a very cheap project but I'm really satisfied with the outcome.

Trade a squire tele with a fellow softie with a perloid pickguard




Don't relly like the perloid so off it goes with my X-acto knife

Preparation
Clean the pickguard with soap n water to remove oil/dust
