      [/ QUOTE ]I prefer the vol. a little farther away, so I put it in the tone control location.

        OK Doug......we need more detailed pics & more details.

        What is the material you used?
        How many pieces did you use?
        How do the seams look?
        Can you do one for me?

        Looks great.

            I bought a gigantic piece of this material at a Flea Market 20 years ago. I've never seen any like it, though I'm sure someone probably sells it. I'll post more pics when it's done. All I need is a very sharp razor blade and Elmer's glue. It works fantastic. I use an iron on low heat to fold the seams, and at the end a nice bead of Super Glue around all the seams. It takes some time, and alot of patience, but it looks killer. The material is not extremely durable, so a clear pickguard over any area that gets beat on is advised.

                  That is so cool! Nice job! Could a few coats of clear be sprayed over top to protect it or something?

                    Here's a 1956 Dano' I covered in the same material about 10 years ago. Had a matching headstock too. I had sprayed a few coats of lacquer on this one.
