Give your guitar a refined custom look with a solid rosewood pickguard featuring a mother-of-pearl outline inlay. Made from real natural wood and shell, this pickguard adds an elegant, handcrafted detail to your instrument while keeping the warm, classic look of rosewood.

The mother-of-pearl border has a beautiful natural shimmer that reflects light with subtle white, silver, cream, and iridescent tones. It is a premium upgrade for acoustic guitars, Taylor-style builds, custom instruments, restorations, replacement pickguards, and luthier projects.
This design is available in three size options to fit short-scale guitars and full-sized guitars with different rosette diameters.

Important Fit Note
Please check your guitar’s measurements before ordering. The most important measurement is your rosette diameter.

Available options:
GS Mini / Short Scale: 5" rosette diameter
T5: Full-sized guitar with 5" rosette diameter
T55: Full-sized guitar with 5.5" rosette diameter

Free Mount, Hybrid Free Mount, 3M Installation, and Pickguard Care 
Discover the innovative Free Mount system for your custom guitar pickguard. Designed to revolutionize pickguard attachment, the Free Mount system ensures that up to 90% of the pickguard remains slightly elevated above the guitar’s surface. This ingenious design offers so many benefits, including protection against top cracks caused by binding something solid to the wood top. Instrument tops are made of wood, which expands and contracts with changes in air temperature and humidity. The Free Mount system does just that and allows for easy installation and removal! Gone are the days when 3M tape required permanent commitment, where a single misstep could mean starting over. 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 like full-sheet 3M double-stick tape.
Optionally, I am now offering a hybrid version. This uses the same backing, but instead of the Free Mount tape, you can get ¼" strips of 3M tape. The 3M tape I use is different from other pickguard tapes and can release more easily than standard 3M tape. The hybrid system is recommended for any guitar with a lacquer, nitrocellulose, or oil-based finish, as the Free Mount tape does not work well on those finishes. Install the Hybrid Free Mount pickguard the same way as the standard Free Mount, but make sure placement is correct before the 3M tape adheres to the top, as it is harder to remove than the Free Mount tape. As you can see in the photos, the advantage of the hybrid vs the standard 3M is that the pickguard is not completely covered in 3M; there's enough to hold it in place, but it allows for the top to expand and contract better than if a full piece of 3M were used.

Pickguard Installation with 3M Tape
I recommend watching a few installation videos; in my opinion, Leo Posch’s is one of 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 it right the first time.

Pickguard Care
Do not use any chemicals to clean your pickguard; use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to wipe it clean. If possible, please keep your guitar in a case; proper humidity and climate control will protect the guitar's wood and pickguard. The pickguard may warp if it gets too hot or the air is too damp or dry. If you don't have a case, you can create a more stable environment by placing your guitar on a stand and covering it with a large plastic bag, which will help protect both the pickguard and the guitar. Keep it away from direct sun and moving air. Although you may not see any changes in your guitar, these conditions can affect the tone. It's important to keep your guitar properly humidified and store it at 70 °- 75°F with a humidity level between 45° and 50°. Hygrometers are really inexpensive these days. You can find them on Amazon for well under $10.
