YOUR CHOICE – Overall Style of Guard
*Your choice of right or left handed (lefty) guard style.
YOUR CHOICE – Guard Color/Style
*Follow this link to see our guard colors in more detail.
*Most guards are cut from 3-ply standard pickguard materials with a beveled edge (some exceptions). Layers may vary (impacts side edging color only) at our discretion.
*Mirror guards are made from an acrylic material designed to protect the mirror finish and will reflect your unique surroundings. Trans, clear, mirror, sparkle, shimmer, smoke, plexi, fluoro & other specialty color/style sheets are specialized fabrications, not standard pickguard materials. Please note that we do not ship mirror and specialty style guards internationally.
*Allow and expect color and pattern variation due to photo and monitor settings as well as natural product variance. Sample images provided represent the color, pattern, or shading of these pickguards, but will not be an exact match. Specialty colors are particularly difficult to capture/show true images. We do not recommend purchasing if you are looking for a particular outcome or are trying to match an existing color/theme on your guitar. We want you to be completely satisfied with your custom pickguard and thank you for understanding that we cannot guarantee a specific look.
YOUR CHOICE – Bevel Style Option
Choose a standard 45-degree bevel or change it up with a 30-degree standard style bevel, rounded style bevel or no bevel.
YOUR CHOICE – Mounting Style
*Choose from no mounting screw holes (undrilled, do-it-yourself), standard 8-hole or standard 5-hole styles.
*Pickguard mounting screw holes are counter-sunk.
*Be sure to select the correct guard mounting style for your guitar or select None (Undrilled) so you can place these where you need them.
YOUR CHOICE – Bridge Cut Options
*Choose from Tele Standard Bridge or Tele Humbucker Bridge cut styles. Guard mounting hole placement is the same for either option. We also offer the option to have NO bridge cut (without any routing done in this area) for special projects or custom bridges. The control plate cut-out is not impacted with this selection.
YOUR CHOICE – Neck Cutout Options
*Choose a Tele or Strat neck pocket cut with or without a truss rod notch (Elite / Pro-Mod style ONLY – not for vintage or other styles).
--If putting a Strat neck on a Tele, a 22-fret overhang neck is typically required to compensate for the gap.
*Standard neck cut size/style.

~~PURCHASE NOTES~~
These guards will not fit anything other than specifically noted compatible models. They will not work with non-standard components or systems and may not work with some pickup covers/styles. Guards will not fit “Squier” “Deluxe” “Light” any Artist Series or Reissue, or anything else other than “Fender® Standard” model guitars in the years and configuration noted. Reference images are approximations and not to scale; variability is to be expected. Non-standard selections may require body modifications. Your selections are your own – we will create your guard to order per your specifications.
Check measurements before purchase. Depending on your set-up, you may require adjustment. Ask in advance and we are happy to provide fit/compatibility information or make special arrangements in advance. DO NOT PURCHASE if you are unsure of your requirements, needs or ability to make any required adjustments for your newly custom designed guard.
THERE ARE NO RETURNS OR ORDER CANCELLATIONS ON CUSTOM ORDERS! Since we process orders as quickly as possible and each guard will be cut just for you, be sure of what you want and ask any questions before completing your purchase. This item is not eligible for return. It is solely your responsibility to know what you need/want and what options will work for your set-up.
Buyers assume all risk of use; sales are only offered to those competent to safely and lawfully purchase and use items.
Allow and expect variation in color due to photo and monitor settings as well as natural product variance.
Ask any questions regarding colors, materials, options, measurements, installation, requirements, special requests, etc. prior to purchase.
Note that we do not recommend installation using power tools as these can put too much force on the product and cause damage, this is especially true for mirror style guards. Take your time for installation; do not use power tools and do not over-tighten screws or other components. If you elect to drill or cut your own controls or holes, please be aware that some guards are extremely difficult to drill yourself if you do not have experience or proper tools. Mirror guards are especially suspect to damage.
