Designed to revolutionize the way pickguards are attached, the Free Mount system ensures that up to 90% (depending on how much tape you leave on the pickguard) of the pickguard remains elevated a hair off the guitar’s surface. This ingenious design offers numerous benefits, including protection against top cracks caused by binding something solid to the wood top, which expands and contracts. Installation is a breeze with the Free Mount system, too. Gone are the days of permanent commitment required by 3M tape, where a single misstep could mean a damaged pickguard or guitar top and starting over. With the Free Mount System, the installation process is straightforward, and the pickguard is fully removable and reusable. This flexibility is a game-changer for guitarists who value precision and versatility. There is also an enhancement of the guitar’s resonance by allowing the top to vibrate more freely than with traditional attachment methods, such as full-sheet 3M\/double-stick tape.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Free Mount system employs a thin plastic layer and an innovative nonadhesive tape that leaves no residue, ensuring clean removal. This tape is designed to peel off easily without damaging your guitar’s finish. It is not recommended for oil-based and nitrocellulose finishes. It’s essential to check the finish on your guitar before deciding between the FM and Hybrid Free Mount options.\u003cbr\u003e\nTo assist you further, I have created comprehensive tutorials on installation and removal. These videos will guide you through the process, showing how easy installation is and how to remove the pickguard without damaging your guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\nGuitar Free Mount Pickguard Install Video- https:\/\/youtu.be\/1nS-JGHnKbo\u003cbr\u003e\nGuitar Free Mount Pickguard Removal Video-https:\/\/youtu.be\/WX9hEWDZWyU\u003cbr\u003e\nOptionally, I am now offering a hybrid version as mentioned above. This is recommended for any guitar with a nitrocellulose, lacquer, or oil-based finish, as the Free Mount tape does not adhere well to those finishes and may damage them over time. The hybrid is the best of both, offering the same thin plastic backing on the pickguard, Free Mount tape, with an added layer of 3M tape to protect the guitar’s finish. The Hybrid Free Mount is installed the same way as the standard Free Mount, but you must ensure correct placement before the 3M tape adheres to the top, as it is hard to remove. The advantage is that the pickguard sits closer to the top, but it does not fully cover it, unlike a standard full-sheet 3M. There’s no risk of the top cracking over time because of the pickguard. You can use as few as four small pieces to secure the pickguard to the top. Place one at each corner, and use a 5th piece in the center. If you have any questions about the item or installation, please get in touch with me using Etsy messaging or directly at sales@mintstrings.com\u003cbr\u003e\nImportant Pickguard Installation with 3M Tape\u003cbr\u003e\nI recommend viewing a few installation videos, and in my opinion, Leo Posch’s video stands out as the best. In this tutorial, Leo demonstrates the proper steps for cleaning, aligning, and accurately positioning a pickguard. Please watch this video before proceeding with the installation. Broken pickguards cannot be returned, so it’s crucial to get the installation right the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\nGuitar 3M Pickguard Install Video- https:\/\/youtu.be\/TNjE7qgcfpw\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickguard Care\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease do not use chemicals to clean your pickguard. Use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to wipe it clean. Please ensure your guitar is stored in a case with proper humidity and climate control to protect the wood. If you do not, the pickguard may warp (due to being too warm or too dry). If you don't have a case, placing your guitar on a stand, using a guitar humidifier and a hygrometer, and sealing it in a large plastic bag will help maintain the correct environment for both the pickguard and the guitar. Although you may not see any changes in your guitar, these conditions can affect the tone. It's important to keep your guitar humidified.\u003cbr\u003e\nPickguard Return Policy\u003cbr\u003e\n1) Pickguard Return Policy with Free Mount- If returning a pickguard with Free Mount, since once installed, it cannot be switched back to the 3M tape, the $5 upgrade is nonrefundable.\u003cbr\u003e\n2) Pickguard Return Policy with 3M- The backing must be intact, and never removed from the pickguard. Please do not remove and then reinstall the 3M backing. After years of making these, I know when the backing has been removed. Removing the backing will change the pickguard's status from new to used, and you will receive only 50% of the purchase price, provided the pickguard is undamaged and still usable. If it is returned with damage, whether caused during installation or during return shipping, you will not receive a refund. It's extremely important that all returns be packaged well. If you return it in an envelope, even if padded, the USPS machines will break it. I've seen this happen.\u003cbr\u003e\n3) There is a 20% restock fee for all pickguards that are made to order.\u003cbr\u003e\n4) Shipping is nonrefundable; the actual shipping will be deducted from the refund to cover shipping on all orders. This includes items listed with \"Free Shipping\" (which is not free). If two or more items were shipped together and you keep at least one item, the shipping charge will not be deducted. USPS is constantly raising prices. As of May 2026, the average price for a 4-oz package is $6.50\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timber \u0026 Tide Luthier","offers":[{"title":"Rosewood \/ ST-HORN","offer_id":53647642165566,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rosewood \/ ST-SH","offer_id":53647642198334,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rosewood \/ ST-V7","offer_id":53647642231102,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mahogany \/ ST-HORN","offer_id":53647642263870,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mahogany \/ ST-SH","offer_id":53647642296638,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mahogany \/ ST-V7","offer_id":53647642329406,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red-Brown-Gold Tort \/ ST-HORN","offer_id":53647642362174,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red-Brown-Gold Tort \/ ST-SH","offer_id":53647642394942,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red-Brown-Gold Tort \/ ST-V7","offer_id":53647642427710,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Deep Red-Brown Tort \/ ST-HORN","offer_id":53647642460478,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Deep Red-Brown Tort \/ ST-SH","offer_id":53647642493246,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Deep Red-Brown Tort \/ ST-V7","offer_id":53647642526014,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold-Brown Tort \/ ST-HORN","offer_id":53647642558782,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold-Brown Tort \/ ST-SH","offer_id":53647642591550,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold-Brown Tort \/ ST-V7","offer_id":53647642624318,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Med Red-Gold Tort \/ ST-HORN","offer_id":53647642657086,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Med Red-Gold Tort \/ ST-SH","offer_id":53647642689854,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Med Red-Gold Tort \/ ST-V7","offer_id":53647642722622,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Acrylic \/ ST-HORN","offer_id":53647642755390,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Acrylic \/ ST-SH","offer_id":53647642788158,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Acrylic \/ ST-V7","offer_id":53647642820926,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHT-ACR \/ ST-HORN","offer_id":53647642853694,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHT-ACR \/ ST-SH","offer_id":53647642886462,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHT-ACR \/ ST-V7","offer_id":53647642919230,"sku":"STND TELE PG","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/7338\/6046\/files\/il_fullxfull.8064154092_rf83_524a3b75-910b-4b52-8635-d8a58e18e076.jpg?v=1780078778"},{"product_id":"pickguard-for-fender-acoustasonic-17755","title":"Pickguard for Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster | Guitar Parts | Custom Natural Solid Wood Pickguard","description":"\u003cp\u003eElevate the look of your Fender Acoustasonic Jazzmaster with this stunning natural wood pickguard!

The Hybrid Free Mount is installed the same way as the standard Free Mount, but you must ensure placement is correct before the 3M tape adheres to the top, as it is hard to remove. The advantage is that the pickguard sits closer to the top, but it does not fully cover it, unlike a standard full sheet of 3M. There’s no risk of the top cracking over time because of the pickguard. You can use as few as four small pieces to secure the pickguard to the top. Place one at each corner, and use a 5th piece in the center.

Gone are the days of permanent commitment required by 3M tape, where a single misstep could mean a damaged pickguard or guitar top and starting over. With the Free Mount System, the installation process is straightforward, and the pickguard is fully removable and reusable. This flexibility is a game-changer for guitarists who value precision and versatility. There is also an enhancement of the guitar’s resonance by allowing the top to vibrate more freely than with traditional attachment methods, such as full-sheet 3M\/double-stick tape.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Free Mount system employs a thin plastic layer and an innovative nonadhesive tape that leaves no residue, ensuring clean removal. This tape is designed to peel off easily without damaging your guitar’s finish. It is not recommended for oil-based and nitrocellulose finishes. It’s essential to check the finish on your guitar before deciding between the FM and Hybrid Free Mount options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo assist you further, I have created comprehensive tutorials on installation and removal.

This is recommended for any guitar with a nitrocellulose, lacquer, or oil-based finish, as the Free Mount tape does not adhere well to those finishes and may also damage the finish over time. The hybrid is the best of both, offering the same thin plastic backing on the pickguard, Free Mount tape, with an added layer of 3M tape to protect the guitar’s finish. The Hybrid Free Mount is installed the same way as the standard Free Mount, but you must ensure placement is correct before the 3M tape adheres to the top, as it is hard to remove. The advantage is that the pickguard sits closer to the top, but it does not fully cover it, unlike a standard full sheet of 3M. There’s no risk of the top cracking over time because of the pickguard. You can use as few as four small pieces to secure the pickguard to the top. Place one at each corner, and use a 5th piece in the center.

The Hybrid Free Mount is installed the same way as the standard Free Mount, but you must ensure placement is correct before the 3M tape adheres to the top, as it is hard to remove. The advantage is that the pickguard sits closer to the top, but it does not completely cover the top as with a standard full sheet of 3M that covers the entire back of the pickguard, so there’s no chance the top can crack over time due to the pickguard. And you can use as few as 4 small pieces to adhere the pickguard to the top. Once at each corner, and you can add a 5th in the center.\u003cbr\u003e\n If you have any questions about the item or installation, please contact me using Etsy messaging or directly at sales@mintstrings.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant Pickguard Installation with 3M Tape\u003cbr\u003e\nI recommend viewing a few installation videos, and in my opinion, Leo Posch’s video stands out as the best.

Please make sure to keep your guitar stored in a case with proper humidity and climate control to protect the wood. If you do not, the pickguard may warp (too warm or too dry). If you don't have a case, placing your guitar on a stand, using a guitar humidifier, a hygrometer, and sealing it with a large plastic bag will help keep the correct environment not only for the pickguard but the guitar as well.

Removing the backing will change the status of the pickguard from new to used, and you will only receive 50% of the purchase price, but only if the pickguard is undamaged and still usable. If it is returned with damage, whether the damage happened during an incorrect installation or was caused during the return shipping, you will not get a refund. It's extremely important that all returns be packaged well. If you return it in an envelope, even if padded, the USPS machines will break it.

Designed to revolutionize the way pickguards are attached, the Free Mount system ensures that up to 90% (depending on how much tape you leave on the pickguard) of the pickguard remains elevated a hair off the guitar’s surface. This ingenious design offers numerous benefits, including protection against top cracks caused by binding something solid to the wood top, which expands and contracts. Installation is a breeze with the Free Mount system, too. Gone are the days of permanent commitment required by 3M tape, where a single misstep could mean a damaged pickguard or guitar top and starting over. With the Free Mount System, the installation process is straightforward, and the pickguard is fully removable and reusable. This flexibility is a game-changer for guitarists who value precision and versatility. There is also an enhancement of the guitar’s resonance by allowing the top to vibrate more freely than with traditional attachment methods, such as full-sheet 3M\/double-stick tape.\u003cbr\u003eThe Free Mount system employs a thin plastic layer and an innovative nonadhesive tape that leaves no residue, ensuring clean removal. This tape is designed to peel off easily without damaging your guitar’s finish. It is not recommended for oil-based and nitrocellulose finishes. It’s essential to check the finish on your guitar before deciding between the FM and Hybrid Free Mount options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo assist you further, I have created comprehensive tutorials on installation and removal.

The Hybrid Free Mount is installed the same way as the standard Free Mount, but you must ensure placement is correct before the 3M tape adheres to the top, as it is hard to remove. The advantage is that the pickguard sits closer to the top, but it does not fully cover it, unlike a standard full sheet of 3M. There’s no risk of the top cracking over time because of the pickguard.
