ALL PICKGUARDS NOW ON


In 1984, I came across a Vox Spitfire with a cracked pick guard and two of three pickups dead. It was painted an awful sky blue as well.

Amazingly, the body was a beautiful straight grained single slab of mahogany, but what to do about a pick guard, new pickups and tone circuits ?

Choosing an 1/8" birch ply, I made my first all wood pick guard, added Carvin single coils with the middle pickup reverse wound, so either neck or bridge pickup would create a humbucker when combined with the middle, and made the up selection of each 3 position mini toggle out of phase for each pickup. It's an great sounding guitar

I currently have Telecaster and Stratocaster pick guard prototypes finished with a thin two part polyurethane clear coat

Each pickguard is unique and hand made, will not warp, and has superior tone qualities to plastic parts.

I will be offering stained birch parts, a wide range of exotic hardwood veneers and custom laminates to fit any electric guitar or bass

Custom jobs welcome and in time will be using Marquetry and Inlay crafts to create truly unique artwork pieces
