CreamTone Pickguard for my SG

[syscokid]

At the ETSG forum, Gahr posted some pics and info of his SGs modified with the wide beveled pickguards made by CreamTone. So of course, I had to have one. But my 50th Anniversary Pete Townshend SG is kind of an oddball. Therefore, CreamTone had to build me a one-off custom, which also reflected the final price.

At first, I was surprised in the roughness of the beveled edges. Especially the straight edges at the left of the guard. Maybe this is normal with wide beveling? I was able to smooth the edges a bit by using different grits of a cloth-type abrasive like the 3M Flexible Polishing Papers that you can get at StewMac.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the looks. Makes this SG Special even more Special...

Before & After:

Looks awesome. Perfect match for the vibe of the guitar.

I think those rough bevel edges are "period correct" so they keep doing them that way. Remember, if Gibson did it after 1965 it sucks
