Pickguard tracing for '64 SG Jr?

I'm restoring a '64 SG Jr that was robbed of most of its original parts. The replacement pickguard that came with it is all wrong & the screw holes aren't even in the right places.

Can anyone help me with a tracing of an early '60s pickguard? I'd rather make my own than pay a fortune for a repro.

Thanks,

Stuart

To make it authentic, make sure you crack off the lower bout corner tip...

Gary, thanks for the offer - you've got mail.

Yeah, but first I have to break the headstock & crack the body around the neck joint... :nut

Here's the patient. I've already ditched the boat anchor Schaller bridge that came with it, so it just needs a decent refin & a pickguard:
