These instruments are celebrated for their \"pre-war\" appointments, including forward-shifted scalloped bracing and rich tonewoods like Adirondack spruce and Brazilian rosewood, which produce a warm, resonant voice that only improves with age. However, many of these vintage treasures suffer from \"pickguard cracks\" caused by original plastic guards that shrink over time, potentially devaluing a guitar worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAAIBhAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003eProtect your investment and honor its legacy with a \u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003ecustom-made solid wood pickguard\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Fsg96\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"otQkpb\" aria-level=\"3\" role=\"heading\" data-animation-nesting=\"\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; margin: 24px 0px 12px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003eArtisanal Protection for Your Timeless Instrument\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"KsbFXc U6u95\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAAICxAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 12px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003ePrevent Costly Damage:\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike traditional plastic that off-gasses and shrinks, our solid wood guards are stable and designed to protect your spruce top without risking the dreaded \"Martin crack\".\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAAICxAB\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 12px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003eVintage-Correct Aesthetics:\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Complement your guitar's natural beauty with premium domestic or exotic hardwoods that mirror the \"simple but tasteful\" appointments of the Golden Era.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo assist you further, I have created comprehensive installation and removal tutorials. These videos will guide you through the process, demonstrating the ease of installation 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptionally, 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 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 3 M. There’s no risk of the top cracking over time due to 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\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. In this tutorial, Leo demonstrates the proper steps to clean, align, and position a pickguard accurately. 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 any chemicals to clean your pickguard; use a microfiber cloth, dry or slightly damp, 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 (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 not only for the pickguard but also for 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickguard 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 the damage occurred 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 over $35, which is listed as \"Free Shipping\" (which is not free).

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo assist you further, I have created comprehensive installation and removal tutorials.

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 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 of 3 M. There’s no risk of the top cracking over time due to 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.

It's important to keep your guitar humidified. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickguard 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 try to remove and then reinstall the 3M backing after removal. After years of making these, I know when the backing has been removed. 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. 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 over $35, which is listed as \"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.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs of May 2026, the average price for a 4-oz package is $6.50\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timber \u0026 Tide Luthier","offers":[{"title":"Bolivian Rosewood \/ 3M Tape","offer_id":53648197779774,"sku":"DJR-10","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bolivian Rosewood \/ Free Mount","offer_id":53648197812542,"sku":"DJR-10","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bolivian Rosewood \/ Hybrid Free Mount","offer_id":53648197845310,"sku":"DJR-10","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Indian Rosewood \/ 3M Tape","offer_id":53648197878078,"sku":"DJR-10","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Indian Rosewood \/ Free Mount","offer_id":53648197910846,"sku":"DJR-10","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Indian Rosewood \/ Hybrid Free Mount","offer_id":53648197943614,"sku":"DJR-10","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/7338\/6046\/files\/il_fullxfull.7285965847_tr07.jpg?v=1780079502"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/7338\/6046\/collections\/Martin_PG_logo.png?v=1780071098","url":"https:\/\/ttluthier.com\/collections\/martin-pickguards.oembed","provider":"Timber \u0026 Tide Luthier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
