Using StewMac for material. Any idea what original thickness was for FG 230?

I tried to scrape the adhesive off but it seems to just push around.

I'm working on a 1970 FG-300. I was able to remove the pickguard that the player had attached with Gorilla Glue. This one is .081" thick, made of a translucent amber-colored material. Any guess as to what the material is? I have mechanically removed most of the old adhesive, but would like to be able to clean the underside without damaging it. Thanks! sdn,CTGull,

The original pickguard is celluloid. More info here. yamahavintagefg.boards.net/thread/104/fg-300-replacement-pick-guard
