Getting a pickguard cut?

Creed_Clicks

Hi all. I have a partscaster EGC type guitar, and I'd like to get a new pickguard. It will have to be a custom job.
Is it relatively easy for someone to do? I would probably look to send the pickguard to them. It's a case of them tracing it on a piece of paper and away they go? Or is it more complex than that? Any recommendations? Even good folk of the TFB parish in the UK or Europe?

The process is to trace it onto some MDF or plywood and cut a template. You use the template to rout the outline plus any chamfer.

Tiny Tone specialise in this kind of thing. I’ve sent a couple in and they made perfectly fitting replacements.

Electrical Guitar Company. It's a body similar to the EGC, but with a telecaster neck. Thanks for the info, I will look into it.
