I had refurbished a fender squier and gave it to my son. He had requested a different pickguard so I had the opportunity to take the guitar apart (again). While changing out a pickguard sounds easy, it did involve some time.
I left the strings in place, taping them off at the the bridge and removing them from the tuners. Then I unscrew the screws that is securing the pickguard in place. There are 11 in this particular pickguard and 8 in the replacement. After removing the screws I normally take all the knobs of the pots and take of the retaining nut so that all the electronics can fall into the guitar. I also unscrew the pickup holders.
