My second choice of repair would be to remove the pickguard and put on a new, self-adhesive pickguard. I have done this before for other guitars and it has worked out well.
My first choice of repair would be to "re-glue" the lifting areas and clamp them until set. Due to the nature of this pickguard, it would have to be a reasonably clear adhesive. While this pickguard is not my favorite tortoise shell, it is original to the guitar and has a somewhat unique look.
What type of adhesive might be affective, if any, aside from the Stew Mac strips that I'm currently unfamiliar with?

I'm the one that originally posted almost five years ago.
I contacted the maker and they quickly sent me out a new Pickguard.
Removing the old is was easy enough and installing the new one was also simple just a bit spooky at first.
Oh, don't forget to clean the area with naptha.
