I have lots of great old images, and you do too. I can make you a custom pickguard for your Telecaster or Esquire. I can do you up a solid-color pickguard to offset your guitar's finish as well; basically any color. I had to do that to get a brown one to match the back and sides of my yella guitar (image below) before I thought I'd try Ghost Riders instead for a while. I could probably manage to make you a custom pickguard for other types of guitars as well. Prices for a custom guard (generally a laminated image under a clear acrylic pickguard) start at about $35. The pickguard examples with Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa are made from photographs I shot awhile back... I am now set up to make wooden pickguards for Tele & Esquire and just made one for a '56 Les Paul Jr. double-cutaway guitar (mine). So wood is also possible in a variety of colors.
Or, maybe one with YOUR face on it !! Your wife'll love it !! Or one with HER face !!
How 'bout a wood one?

Just think, if my face was on the pick guard, nobody would want to steal it! |

Nick worked with me to make a custom "shell pink" pickguard. He communicated with me all along the way , sending various pictures to make sure he got it just right. The pick guard arrived today and it's exactly what I wanted. Nick really knocked it out of the park with quality and communication. I will certainly be doing business with nick again in the future!

Nick, I will look in my email for the buffalo picture. I think thats the one I want. Send your Phone # and we'll get her done. Figure the Strat pick guard prices too. CAA _________________ "like an old stallion, lonely for freedom, still trying to out run the wind" Seals,Setser,& Davey.

Yes, but most likely will look better with a Tele or Esquire in terms of the label. _________________ Just another belt & suspenders guy... |

Nick, you have done it sgain !
Will have you do some in certain colors as soon as I complete my 5th wheel move to another area. Simple move 4 most, but in my life now a difficult one. I need to figure color schemes, and if I need to re-paint a couple of black ones. Check 4 buffalo on the way.
