The pickguard isn't actually covering up any electronics cavities, but some of them do have weight relief cavities under the pickguard. Mine is solid though, about 8lbs iirc

Thickness of this one is about perfect. I have done one other from a different clipboard and it's a little thicker than I like.

I did not build the guitar, I just modified it. Body is ash, neck is roasted maple.

Thanks! Honestly the only real tip I have is that it's almost hard to mess it up if you have a router table at your disposal. I wouldn't feel confident making a pickguard with anything else really.

Thanks!

I love the irony of playing heavy fucking metal out of a Telecaster shaped body.

tbf this is what it looked like when I got it, very much a metal Tele.

If I had a legitimate opportunity to buy one I would seriously consider it

Pretty much all of the choices made with regards to this guitar were in pursuit of versatility. For pickups, that meant finding humbuckers with great coil split tones. I was going to go with P-Rails initially, but my mind was changed as soon as I heard the coil splits on these. You could put them in just about anything and convince people they were hearing a Telecaster

Close, I cut it from an acrylic clipboard

I added the switches, yes. There was plenty of room in the cavity for them, I just had to drill the holes. There are sort of two versions of the Custom 24, those with blade switches and those with toggle switches, for their pickup selectors. This type of switch configuration is typical for 24-08s with blade switches, there just isn't quite as much space between the tone knob and pickup selector with these Floyd Rose SE models, so it's a bit more cramped.

Thanks, I did replace the pickups, Fishman Fluence Classics are what you see.

It's exactly where the inspiration for Mon Bazou came from. People been asking for My Winter Car for years

My Summer Car. It's probably still #1 for play time on Steam for me. I bought a whole-ass racing wheel setup just for that game.
