I'd have a sweet one if my friend didn't draw on the wrong side of it... But if you have artistic friends take your white pick guards, give them free will and a black marker

Futurama reference for the win. lol

Thinking about some different pickguards for my Jazz V, subscribed out of interest.

I had a friend cut me an aluminum pickguard (one piece pickguard + control plate) a while back, always meant to finish the details and etch it... maybe it's time to revisit that thought......

I'm real into this. You don't see colors like that often, especially on burst.

It takes unique tastes to appreciate that one. Probably should have asked a pretty girl first.

I'd like to see one with newspaper on the front. I imagine you could do it, or magazine pages, with a simple water+glue solution. Hmm..

Someone here has one like that.
They also have a duct tape one.

I've seen photos on here but never saved them.

Someone also had a clear Dano pick guard with a quite attractive female magazine cut out shining through.

I have a few to share.........
I made this one from .060 sheet styrene, masked and airbrushed the design.

This one is also sheet styrene, airbrushed white, Drinky was done with markers then clear gloss lacquer as an overcoat.

I got his PG from an ebay seller, it started as laser cut 1/8th stainless steel, this one has been cleaned up and chrome plated.

Terrapin and others make those clear guards or smoked. Totally perfect for laying a photo/cut out underneath.

This is a great thread. Way to get some unique ideas.
