Greetings each,
I have just purchased a 1970's nitro cellulose pickguard for a Jazz Bass. It has a slight warp to it and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how I might flatten it out. I've been told to put it between a couple of sheets of glass and put it out in the sun for the Summer. Any other ideas?

Thanks......Kegs.

That may or may not work but be forewarned, the pickguard will continue to shrink and warp in other areas as well. The plain truth is, there really is no practical way to remedy the warp.
