In real it looks better Tru-oil finished & polished.

I've photoshoped the LP headstock logo as i wanted a very thin font.

It's not a decal, it's direct printed on wood (with the help of a printer cd tray).

 

 

how to: Once you've got your wood Cut your piece larger than your Pickguard or Truss Rod Cover).

cut it by half (to make it thinner), sandpaper (on a table, the floor or a flat surface) the invisible side to make it flat.

 

Cut* at the shape of your old plastic Pickguard & Truss Rod Cover tracing on the wood with the old as model (or make a different one).

 

*I've use a dremel with the little sanding drum & a very little flat files around the screw & the 2 ears.

 

Finish by hand sanding (this will bevel the external shape).

 

Now you've got a very nice Pickguard & Truss Rod Cover for nothing & scratch resistant as most of them are factory treated with one kind of very resistant & invisible resin.

 

Won't work for Large Pickguards without gluing 2 pieces (such as Stratocaster).

 

Could also be a good support for real inlay practicing.
