Hi guys (and ladies). The big manufacturers sometimes put a white stripe around the perimeter of the pickguard. Do any of you know how they do it? Can it be done by a garage builder? Thanks for being here.... |

I would guess that the are laminated one layer of black and one layer of white. Then they chamfer (sp) the edge so that the white layer shows. |

Some plastic archtop guards are bound with white plastic. I imagine that could have been done on the J200 above, as well. Hard to tell on low-res photos. |

Mike, that is a white pickguard under the tortoise pickguard. Just as Paul described. |

Hi Mike, Yes,it looks like a white and black layer under the tortise which is then beveled-same as on a lot of Gibson electric guitars. The same tecnique can be used around the headstock. Suppliers sell the plastic already laminated in many configurations. I use a bevel bearing bit,but a file works just as well |
