Where to to find Gold Anodized pickguards

[GhostofJohnToad]

Been searching around a bit and I cannot find where to buy a gold anodized tele pickguard. Are there any other styles out there like thinline, deluxe, or custom? I think I would like to get a thinline if possible. I've seen simulated plastic ones but not the real aluminum version.

I ordered mine from AllParts. I belive you can order them from Fender but it'll cost more and take longer.

I don't know what the quality is like, but there are some Eden anodized pg's on eBay for a reasonable price. They're just the standard Tele shape though. There was also a thread here recently which had another brand too, but I forget the name offhand so I'll dig it up.


Edit: Okay, found the link...company called AxeGuards:

Also want to add that I believe WD sells aluminum looking pg's too:

Hmmm. The Axeguardz look pretty good, especially for the price. The WD ones have the thinline but not real aluminum. Looks like I might have dilemma. I wonder how it would look with a gold pickguard and a gold control plate?

you could always get a plain chrome one plated for not too much, there should be an outfit in your town or the nearest city, they are usually "geared" twoards automotive uses (pun intended)

Someone told me they would charge about $50 just to anodize. I guess I may have to go with the standard guard. I swore I saw one around here somewhere, but maybe it was somewhere else.
