Never bought tortoise sheet from lmii, so that’s an unknown, if it’s similiar in thickness to a taylor pickguard then guessing about .65 of a mm.

A few ways you can do it.

- Make a wood pickguard (Mdf) and attach to it, then shape sand with a bobbin sander.
- use a razor and trace a Mdf shape again, three to four passes will cut through.
- use scissors but cut in straight lines, this way you keep reducing the waste area until the shape is almost left and then with small pressure cut it out.
- I’ve cut many pvc pickguards on a laser, works fine, just don’t breathe the gas, it’s not good for you.
- small Cnc router works fine too
