Needing to find out how everyone is cutting their pickguard? All I have is a mitersaw, so if it's a power tool that will have to work.

I use my band saw, but a coping saw or hacksaw would work fine.

Tin snips works best for me.

You could always score it with a knife and break it like glass.

Be careful with the miter saw. I cut up a bunch of it the other day at the shop-- I used a bandsaw to rip it into 7/8" strips, and then breaktime was over and it was back to work for me.
When I clocked out and headed for the bandsaw to finish cutting them into squares, someone else was on the bandsaw, so I cut the strips into squares with a miter saw.
REEAAALLY easy to launch those little pieces across a shop with a miter saw. You HAVE to make the cut, and hold the blade DOWN while it STOPS- and only after it stops do you raise the blade-- or else you get that familiar "P--SCHING" and your square disappears forever.
But I cut 4 sheets of it that way, but I also stacked them 4 or 5 strips high to make it quicker.
