Hello. I have a project guitar that at one time had 3 humbuckers in it. It was just too crowded for me so I removed the middle pickup and now I am looking for some ideas of how to cover the hole. I think a nice way to do it would be to have a custom pick guard made that would fit over the pups and that would cover the hole. The pick guard that I have does not fit around the pick ups at all so I would have to make one. I don't think I could do it myself and would not even know where to start. My next option would be to have a piece of chrome or painted thin metal to slide over the pick up cover for that middle pick up but I guess that would still look crowed also. Any ideas or any suggestions would be welcome. Also anyway I could learn how to make my own custom pickguard? Not sure how I would be able to do a template. Thanks and here is a pic.
