Comment by Where's Uranus? on April 9, 2015 at 8:42am: So I'm looking to make a custom pickguard for my Kay, I want to keep the rocker switches and mismatched knobs of the current one, but cover up the area under the strings and all the marks of previous work, and I'm installing a pair of lipstick pickups into it too.

Anyone got a better / cheaper place, or someone who might be able to save me from myself and recommend a place that does it.

NB I spent $25 on the guitar (in trades) and $20 on the pickups, so it's not a high ticket item ;)
