    Default martin style pickguard for my flat iron.

    i got a 93 flat iron 2mc. i really love it. i like those old fancy martin style between the bridge and soundhole style pickguards, it's a little plain and i kind of anchor in that area. anyone make a copy of those. with thin material. also looked at some om style guitar pickguards and maybe just having my repair guy cut a traditional looking one. or a, a style with hardware. thanks to all

    Stewart-MacDonald sells resin pickguard material that emulates celluloid. Thickness is 1/2 mm, and with very slight heating it is safe to cut with scissors. I made pickguards for my Buchanans using it, and applied pressure-sensitive adhesive from StewMac to mount. My avatar shows my homemade pickguard. It had no effect on sound, to my ears. My first try wasn't pleasing and I was able to remove it and the adhesive and try again.
