Mandolin pickguard

stedtale · #1 05-03-2007, 07:49 AM

Hey all-

I'm coming to the end of my internet searching skills....

I need a new pickguard for my mando, but I can't find them online, at least not at a reasonable price (I've found ones for $60!!

)

Someone's gotta know.

Thanks!

$60? Is it dipped in gold?

What kind of mando? You can surely find one on ebay for a lot less, either new of used.

Ebay, didn't think of that...

It's nothing special, just a basic A-style with an oval hole.

like this:

And yeah 60 bucks, I know- wilco tango foxtrot, eh?

Here's mando pickguards in ebay stores. Scroll down a bit. They start at $4.00.

A good friend of mine makes mandolins and bozoukis <sp?> from scratch. I don't know what he has for stock, but I betcha he'll do you right! Check out his website and send him an E-mail:

Awesome bozoukis, nice. I've been meaning to pick one up...along with a balalaika.

But there's gotta be a stock pickguard for $15 buck that I can get off the shelf.
