And I'm back to share another personalized pickguard I've made for a friend! He wanted something with a hardcore Skull and here's what I did. This is hand-made in my little workshop in the basement and for project regarding carving and guitar pickguards I've used the "MyPickguard" own brand.
Hope you all enjoy this and there watch the video at the end of the post.
Here's the mockup and layout for what I was hoping to achieve
this pickguard had 3 layers (white / black / white) and the goal was to remove the first layer of white exposing the black beneath
Below are some photos I've taken to record the process from start to end.

Below the pickguard on the first fit to the guitar :) Looking good!
And here I'm with the guitar and proof that's really me ;)
I've made 2 videos to record this story. The first one is 4x faster and it show the carving to take out the first layer of the pickguard. On the second one it's the pickguard after carving and before the red paint in the eye and final mount.
And for this pickguart that's the story about it. After I finished the job I gave it to a friend that plays with me from time to time :) While making this post I got the little urge to make a new one!
