I would just like to hear some estimates. I know that price can vary but I want to know in a general range how much it might cost, <$50, >$100, etc.

How much do you guys think it would cost to route a 7 string guitar thats already routed for DiMarzios to be routed for EMGs?

Thanks!

You can't use scissors. You have to have a band/scroll saw, or a router/dremel and pearloid doesn't just melt, it ignites! So please keep that in mind. Slow, cool cuts are recommended. But go too slow, and you'll build up excess heat and ignite the pearloid.

Great I'm a fire hazard now!

Thanks for all the advice. I'll have to take everything into my school's work shop. Can't wait to get this stuff started, it's gonna look great when its done... just gotta get the funds together

I'll post pics here when I'm done!

We all know that black guitars with pearloid pickguards are hot, and that black guitars can be boring at times, so I've decided to add a pearloid pickguard to my ESP LTD F-50.

Here's the overall design idea:

after ( general idea for the shape )

I plan on ordering some pearloid blanks from Stewmac. The only thing I need to know before I finally do this is how to cut the blanks. I was told that scissors or a plain knife would do fine but I'd like a few more opinions.

Thank you!
