Dan Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 I have recently bought a new body, ( the jag stang with AANJ ) off fleabay and theres room for a hum in the bridge position. But im wondering whether i could cut a bigger slot into the pickguard? You can see from the pic. And if i could, how would i do it without cracking, harming, or disfiguring the pickguard?

Dan Posted March 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 What about a hegner saw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 I honestly don't know what a hegner saw is. If it is something like a jewler's saw with a fine toothed thin blade I'm pretty sure it would do. I know as far a minor corrections I've used a razor blade as well.....

Dan Posted March 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 No no. This is a hegner saw The blade is detachable so i could slip it into the existing hole and begin cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezifon Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 mask the zone to cut with tape then use a electronic type soldering iron (use a old one or one cheap, the plastic melt ruin the extreme) 2 or 3 mm of the border, the plastic of pickguards smell a lot but its easy to cut it with the iron finish the border with cutters or a good knife, the edge requires time to end it good, i think is a good idea to put a humbucker mounting ring in this one, but check if the strings can permit this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
