We create various pickguards with rounded outer edges, a matte finish, and added natural aging. Vintage Stratocaster pickguards have worn edges that appear smooth and glossy, but in general, commercially available aged pickguards don't fully replicate this. We perform all processes by hand, including edge shaping, color aging, and adding rust to the screw holes. The color aging is achieved with special dyes, so the aging won't wear off even with extensive playing. Common aged pickguards use colored lacquer, which can chip off from picking. The available pickguards are: * 3-ply Mint Green 62 type * 3-ply Mint Green 72 type * 3-ply Ivory 72 type * 3-ply Ivory 62 type * 3-ply White 62 type * 3-ply White 72 type * 1-ply 8-hole White The difference between the 62 and 72 types is the position of the screw hole between the front and middle pickups. The 72 type has the hole closer to the middle pickup, while the 62 type has it in between the front and middle pickups. The cracks near the neck and the right-hand horn are simulated and not actual cracks. The scratches around the neck pocket are from adjusting the truss rod on a vintage Stratocaster, but please let us know if you don't want them. In 1972, the truss rod was a bullet rod, accessible from the headstock side, so the recess and scratches for truss rod access above the front pickup are not included. However, we can add the recess and scratches to the 72 type if desired. Please inquire if you have any other aged pickguard requests. Shipping may take some time depending on stock availability.
