Hi Jono. Most pickguards that you buy ready made are self adhesive. Peal of the backing plastic cover and place in position.

You might consider looking into adhesive backed pickgard or a recommended adhesive sheet for that purpose. The 3M pickguard sheet is sold at Stewart McDonald in the US and here's a link to it for more information about it.

Here's a tutorial on installation that you might find useful:

Hi jono1uk,

You're welcome. I'd probably look at other pickguard installation tutorials as well to get an idea of how other people did it, and maybe there are suggestions from other forum members ...

Good luck,
Harriet

Hi Jono. Before you remove the backing put the pickguard where you want it. If it fits go ahead with installation. If it overhangs the rosette unevenly (ocd)! you can trim back with a craft knife.
Go for it!
Best wishes and good health to you all, John
