Title: Schecter Dream Machine Pickguard
Post by: caio on October 03, 2024, 07:42:14 PM
Hi, i'm trying to build a replica of the red schecter with the ssl1's but i can't find the pickguard (not even something similar) to buy here in Brazil.
Does someone have the measures or 1:1 pictures of the pickguard ? I'm gonna try to make one myself.

Google "F500T assembly". When the originals show up, they're expensive, but there are replicas available.

Here's an original:

Ingo's replicas (from the link above) are incredible!! I have three of them (and a fourth for a build that was supposed to be done a year ago if it ever GETS built...) and counting lol!
