Custom pickguards

A pickguard is an important part of the guitar.  It protects the instrument from scratches that can occur during playing with the use of a pick, adds a decorative look to your guitar, and is also a fun place for an autograph.  If you want to change the look of your guitar, but are quite attached to the instrument itself, then you might consider a custom pickguard.  Custom pickguards can enhance the look of your instrument and add a personal flair without having to change much of the guitar itself.

You have many options when it comes to custom pickguards.  You can spend as much or as little as you’d like, and you can design your own or pick one from a variety of styles.  Consider a pickguard with a different color than the rest of your guitar, or with wacky colors and pictures.  You can even create your own pickguard at home by drawing or writing on it before attaching it to your guitar.  That’s a great way to put your personal stamp on your prized instrument!

If you want to get luxurious and eccentric with your pickguard, then a custom pickguard made from more expensive materials is a great option.  Exotic woods and fur, priceless gems and metals such as diamonds and gold, and real pearl are all great ways to give your guitar a high-end make-over.  This is a great ritual to have after breaking into the business, celebrating and rewarding your instrument with a custom pickguard that is just as fabulous as you and your music.
