how warped is it? are you screwing it down like on a strat or tele?

if so, it can handle quite a bit of flex(when making my pickup slots wider for a minibucker I held it over my knee and noticed some bending)

whenever I take mine off my old strat it twists up a good bit, but it all lays pretty good once I screw it back down

There's a pretty good curl, but yeah, it will probably flatten out once it's screwed down. I'd like to take out as much of the warp as possible first though.

I'll try some heat on it then clamp it down, see if that helps.

not like a vintage celluloid guard then - heating might not be so wise with one of them :D

yes! be very careful! i shrunk a mustang pickguard with the gentle heat and clamp method.

dunk it in hot water, and then clamp it between 2 flat boards. Make sure you protect the show face, or you can clamp a pettern into it if the boards are rough!
