Hello everyone!  This is my first post and first of all I must say I'm impressed with the quality of this forum.  In all aspects it's by far the most pleasant forum I've joined. 

On this day, after searching the forum for the answer, I call for help on a pressing matter.

I bought a used RR Strat off eBay, and it works perfectly.  I can't stand the white pickguard or the magnetic pups.  So I have the idea of replacing them, along with the plastic nut and maybe saddles.  A typical mex strat upgrade.
I have read the warning signs about removing the pickguard so I'm planning on bringing it to a pro.  The only thing is that the pickguard I want is close to $77 and in an effort to keep costs down I thought of buying a regular strat pickguard and cutting it myself. 
In short, I need a template.  I can't use the original pickguard because it will be in the shop.
Any ideas?

Contact Chandler pickguards and tell them what you want  in the color / material you want from Chandler

I bet they can build exactly what you want at a fair price if you contact them
