No need to settle for an ill-fitting or poorly-shaped pickguard for your old guitar or for a newly built guitar. You can customize your own. It will enhance the looks of any fine guitar. This pickguard material is in red tortoise shell and measures 9.5" x 11.5". It not only will beautify your guitar but protect the delicate top and finish from pick wear and damage. The thickness is .6mm so it will easily protect without interfering with tone or top vibration. The face is already polished and the back already has adhesive applied. Just cut to size, bevel the edges for a look that's professional while it protects. List price $8.95.
