Pickguard

Rooney · July 10th, 2008, 08:03 PM

I'm looking for a black 5-hole pickguard routed for a mini-humbucker. I figured I'd check eBay and hope for a hot rod pickguard but none have come up. So does anyone know a good place to get a pickguard from?

You could get an esquire pickguard and make the hole for the minihumbucker yourself.

Or measure the minihum to see what size the hole would need to be, you might be able to do the same with a pickguard made for a Tele single coil neck pickup.

Check out terrapin guitar. They'll make anything you want.

+1 on Terrapin. Great job on a Nashville double-strat guard for me.

www.guitarfetish.com has close to what you are looking for, but has eight holes not five.

+1 on Terrapin. I have an order there right now for a 72 RI Tele Deluxe. I'm having it cut for regular sized hb's. Price is reasonable and John seems to have his patterns together. Other custom makers ask me to send them a pattern. He replies real quick to inquiries too.
