Wow, that's awesome, I wonder what that would look like with one of the new metal Warmoth logos on it?  Pretty cool I would think...

Did you have your pickguard made for you or reshape a regular Gibson guard yourself? I need a pickguard that will fit the Warmoth carved top body to use as a template for one I'm having made in ebony.

If you want 3000 of them I can refer you. A smaller quantity would be a problem.

I did use a regular Gibson Guard and had to sand a little on it to get a good fit.

Gregg, where did you find the 3-hole "Custom" truss rod cover?  That's exactly what I'm looking for for my new LP!

I don't know if this is what Gregg did, but I just bought a Gibson cover and the shop cut off the bottom and drilled holes.  I would have preferred they clip the ring for the screw and leave a little showing, but what they did works.

Yes, that is what I did!

Got it, thanks.  I'm thinking about attempting to make a "plug" out of some sort of wood that fits into the truss rod slot.  After I get the neck, I'll stop by Woodcraft and see if they have any goodies that might fit the bill.  I can always fall back on the trimmed Gibson cover.  :guitaristgif:

I don't know that you really have to trim it.  Like I said in my other post, I wanted them to just cut off the ring for the screw at the bottom and drill two holes.  I knew it would leave some space open, but I would have rathered they done it that way.

What part do you have to trim exactly on the pickguard? I'm not sure to understand what you mean when you say "the bottom part"...
I want to order mine from stewmac, it's half price compared to the Gibson one.

Also, do I need a special tool for the job?
thanks

I think I ordered my guard and hardware from WD music products....I think. It's been a few years now. I just used a box cutter and sand paper make the guard fit around the pickup mounting rings better. I was just contemplating pulling this guitar out of retirement....then this old thread pops up...hmmmm

If you ever felt like sending the guitar to a retirement home, I know a place that would be happy to take it!
