Who makes custom pickgaurds?

Post by Len Amaral »

Is there a company that you send your pickgaurd to and they cut a custom unit and then send both to you? There are companies that ask you to trace your pickgaurd but that may not be exact to cut a new unit?

Replacement Pickguard

Post by Glenn Uhler »

Depends a lot on what material you want for the pickguard. I made one out of solid chrome-plated brass for a Forum member for a old Tutmark instrument, and he was quite pleased. A lot of work to make it, though!

If you want one made from plastic, that's a little easier. If you are interested, and want to see pictures, email me!

Going to send my pickgaurd to WD in Fort Myers, Fl and they will cut me a new pearlized white for my G&L ASAT then send both back. The new unit will be an exact fit.. cool!
