Yer makin' me blush, Ray! Thanks.
It's perfect. A pickguard covers the area, so you're golden.
That router looks like a handful.
I use a small trim router, clamp the body down, mark my cutouts with a sharpie, and whittle away a bit at a time till I'm right at the line.
Then just finish up with a small sanding drum on a Dremel.
 
Nice project Ray!
Yep, that is a perfectly fine pick guard grade route.
Perfect example of why I have previously stated I am blown away by Mr. Hack free range routing.

Ray, another secret to good routering is to not eat the whole elephant in one bite.

In other words, don't set your bit full depth and try to rout out the whole hole LOL.
Also, like Hack said, make your cutout line and rout out the general shape and get close to the line without going " outside" it. Leave a little bit and rout out the hole with the router set partially down as far as you want full depth to be. Then take a break, set router a little deeper and go at it again. Repeat as many times as needed to get to full depth and then you can eventually just ever so gently clean up your edges.

Ever since I first put a router bit in a Drill press in the 8th grade wood shop to make cutouts for my skateboard wheels on a deck I was building,, I have always thought the router was the coolest darn wood shaping tool ever.

That's funny...I still use a router bit in a drill press! Set the depth and move the wood, reset the bit deeper, lather, rinse, repeat...

Here is my best example of my " hand guided" router work.

My customer had their cabinet door broken by their dogs and wanted me to fix it.
