I've done it before, and then still found tiny bits of black plastic a year later. The router throws them *everywhere*. Plus, it's harder to control accurately unless you've made a template first. For a one-off job like that, cutting by hand would be easier.

Anyroadup, after some sleep today, a bit of paper and scissor action sees a scratchplate shape I think I am happy with, this is working from the perspective of modifying a Standard scratchplate and not making completely from, erm scratch.....I like the way the rear corner matches the curve of the front edge of the bridge plate and the way it extends slightly up the sides of the pickups looks better too, thanks to @WezV for the suggestion, sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees....
I have in the mail 2 scratchplates,one Black Pearl and one White Pearl....lets see how this goes!.....

All assembled, set up, intonated etc, it all needs to settle and next string change will see the intonation screws shortened........
Pretty happy with the result, I will probably replace the P90’s at some point, which are ok, I'll see how I get on with them...
