After considering several design options, a pickguard was ultimately chosen and made from golden sandalwood (Rio Grande Palisander) and finished with clear (transparent) water-based urethane varnish. The design challenge was that the body top has a rounded shape, so a flat pickguard like a Stratocaster's could not be directly screwed onto the body. To solve this, a spacer, similar to those used on the SG1000 pickguard, was inserted between the pickguard and the body for some of the screws (near the horn on the 1st string side) to allow the flat pickguard to be installed. ＊The rest of the product description exceeds the character limit and will be posted in the comments section.
