Yamaha BB424 Pickguard

Hey guys,
Im wondering if anyone out there could trace the pickguard of a Yamaha BB424 bass for me. I want to put a pickguard on my old Yamaha BB414 (came without pickguard) but I can't seem to get the shape perfect. I'm looking to cover the control cavity with the guard as well, rather than using a metal control plate.

I'm actually rebuilding the entire bass. I plan on making a thread to document it when I'm done.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Good question. I'm asking the same.

I made a freehand template for a pickguard. I haven't cut the guard yet, but I know it's not going to be a perfect fit. But it will work for me for now. I have a small piece of plastic taped over the control cavity now just so the bass is playable (I heavily modified mine), but I'm trying to put off cutting the guard until I get a good template.
