If your guitar doesn't have a pickguard, you can still add one. You'll just need to make some adjustments to ensure that it fits properly. First, you'll need to remove the strings and sand the area where the pickguard will go. This will help the pickguard adhere to the guitar body. Next, you'll need to measure the pickguard and cut it to size. Be sure to use a sharp knife so that the edges are clean and crisp. Finally, you'll need to apply some adhesive to the back of the pickguard and place it on the guitar body
Pick guards are usually held on by screws, so all you have to do is unscrew them. If your pick guard is held on by adhesive, you can heat it up with a hair dryer to make it easier to remove.
No, not all guitars have pickguards. While most Stratocasters and Telecasters have pickguards, many other guitar models do not. For example, Gibson Les Pauls and SGs generally don't have pickguards. There are also many acoustic guitars that don't have pickguards.
Many players ask themselves whether they need a pickguard or not. The answer to this question is not simple, as it depends on personal preferences and playing styles. Some people find that a pickguard protects their guitar's finish from being scratched by the pick, while others find it unnecessary and prefer the natural look of their instrument. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to use a pickguard is up to the individual player.

As a pastime, I customize Fender and Squier guitars, primarily Stratocasters. Typically, I "rescue" mistreated and abandoned instruments from pawn shops for a discount before rebuilding them to standards that go above and above their original factory specs.These guitar pickguards frequently need to be replaced due to damage, which may be costly. Therefore, I looked for Chinese manufacturers on Amazon to find a less expensive supplier. Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that the majority of Chinese Strat pickguards are subpar. They generally feature unusually placed holes and are thin and cheap-feeling.The pickguards made by Musiclily are an entirely different matter. I've bought many of these Strat pickguards in both pearl and solid colors and am extremely happy with them. First off, the pickguards from Musiclily are as as good as—and sometimes even better—than those made by the original manufacturer. For instance: Squier pearl pickguards are 2.3mm thick, while the standard solid color pickguards are 2.0mm thick. The pearls are around 2.45mm thick, while the "normal" American and Mexican OEM pickguards are about 2.3mm thick. The pearls are 2.5mm in diameter and the pickguards in solid colors are 2.3mm.The edges of the Musiclily pickguards are beveled and neatly cut, with no ragged edges. They completely shield everything, including the controls and pickups. The pearl and tortoise shell pickups have four layers, while the solid color pickups have three layers (black/white/black). In order to guard against shop or installation damage, they also come with two pieces of protective plastic on top.The only thing I don't like about this pickguard is that the user has to cut out the sections of the metal shielding that cover the switch and potholes. The cost difference more than makes up for the annoyance of trimming these pieces with a hobby knife.I put the Musiclily Strat pickguards to the test and discovered that they work well with a variety of Squier models as well as American and Mexican Stratocasters. I mounted them on the following guitars without drilling or making any other alterations: a vintage Japanese model, a Chinese Squier SE, a Fender American Standard, and a Fender Mexican Standard. It won't fit on some Squier models, including the Korean Strat.See the images of my "All Musiclily" Chinese Squier Stratocaster SE, which features locking tuners, a five-way switch, 250k pots, Musiclily Railblaster pickups, and Strat knobs in the attachments. In total, the cost of the guitar at the pawn store and all the Musiclily parts came to roughly $110, and it performs fantastically.

The ease with which you may customize and personalize a Fender Stratocaster is one of their best qualities. Pickguards are one of the simplest places to start. I bought this mint green one to put on an American standard Olympic white model, and I'm quite happy with how it looks. Additionally, I purchased an aged white accessory package to combine with it, giving it a truly vintage appearance. Simply soaking the knobs, pickup covers, etc. in coffee can age them beautifully while saving you some money. By adding them, my guitar will resemble the '62 Vintage Hot Rod model while also featuring contemporary conveniences like a 2 point tremolo, 22 frets, and simple truss rod access. Since this costs $40 at Guitar Center, it was wonderful of me to purchase from Amazon because I was able to save some money.

For my black 1997 Made in Mexico Squier Stratocaster, I ordered this. I recently learned that Squier used Fender necks and bodies in 1997, which explains why everyone keeps gushing over how my Squier "feels and performs JUST like a Fender!" Consequently, this pickguard fit perfectly. Each screw hole matched the others exactly. Don't Pay $$$ For Plastic From Fender is the YouTube video that introduced me to Musiclily pickguards. When these Musiclilly pickguards are just as excellent (in my opinion, as it really is just some plastic cellulose) and offered by Musiclilly in MORE hues and designs, there really isn't any reason to pay well over twice as much for a "fully licensed" pickguard from Fender. Even though Musiclilly's website allows for ordering, I prefer Amazon. Gotta love Prime's free shipping options! The white pickguard on my black Stratocaster was dull and ordinary in my opinion, so I swapped it out for this Tortoise Shell pickguard while keeping the naturally worn-in white pickup covers and knobs. It appears GREAT and much improved. I'll definitely order more of these guards. Even a tremelo cavity cover was included... AMAZING bargain!

I don't understand how Fender, or any guitar manufacturer, gets away with charging so much for a piece of plastic. nonetheless, for approximately half off on Amazon. I'm generally content. It came in retail packaging and is a genuine Fender product.Kind of irrelevant, but it might be useful to someone. This was purchased for a custom non-Fender telecaster. To be precise, it is a Logan custom tele. Logan, however, equips his guitars with Allparts pickguards. In order to confirm that this will fit, I lined up my Allparts pickguard with a Fender pickguard in the neighborhood music store. The holes aligned and everything appeared to be in order, so I went home and bought this fender pickguard. The small half-circle cutout that surrounds the chrome control plate on a tele was a few millimeters off and would not fit when the pickguard first came, so I immediately installed it. It was on there after some filing and sanding.The moral of the story is to purchase a Fender pickguard if you are replacing one. Buy an Allparts pickguard if you're replacing one, as you probably already figured.

It took me a while, but I eventually upgraded my red Fender Stratocaster guitar. Before (simple white pick guard in first image), improved pick guard in second. Because I didn't like the way the pick guard looked, I purchased this one for the electrical components. Now that I've put everything together, I think it looks alright. What do you think, people? To get a Tele sound, I added another switch. To make room for the second HB pick up, I had to rout out the body, and while I was at it, I insulated the entire cavity. As a result, I can now add the bride to the 3 and 4 positions of the 5 way switch and use both of the HB pick ups in HB serial, HB parallel, or single coil modes, giving me a great variety of sound options. Perhaps going overboard, but I think it sounds fantastic!I might might have to get another one of this for my next project because it looks so much nicer in person!In order to replace the pick guard with the original one or any future ones without having to solder any wires, I also installed a quick connect (Deans) plug.Plug and play Simply take off the neck, remove the existing pick guard, replace it with the preferred pick guard, and then put the neck back on. All of this without cutting the cords (should loosen them first though).

The pickups are decent, and the pickguard is beautiful. They were a huge improvement over the Dimarzio Area pickups I had previously. The Area's are stacked humbuckers with single coil voiced characteristics. They didn't have a hum, which I like, but they also lacked clarity and crispness. I ultimately came to the conclusion that tone was more significant to me than battling hum, and I'm extremely happy I switched to these. Even so, the hum isn't that loud. And if necessary, I can change to one of the hum-cancelling positions by increasing the gain.I'd absolutely suggest these if you're interested in exploring the single coil realm or if you already adore single coils but aren't too particular about them. They are a fantastic set of pickups that are "normal," not overly bright or dark. If I had to pick one complaint, it would be that there isn't really much information about the pickups. It's not like purchasing a Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan, where you can review the specifications of a dozen pickups, weigh them against one another, and select the one that best suits your preferences.Overall, the sound is quite fantastic considering the price.
Pick guards can affect the sound of a guitar in a few ways. They can add or subtract resonance, depending on the material they're made of and how they're attached to the guitar. They can also affect the tone of the guitar by changing the way the strings vibrate.
A pickguard is a piece of plastic or other material that is placed on the body of a guitar below the strings. Pickguards serve to protect the guitar's finish from being scratched by the picks, and they can also add a decorative element to the guitar's appearance. Most Les Paul models come with a pickguard already installed from the factory, but if you're looking to change the look of your guitar or you need to replace a damaged pickguard, you'll need to know how to remove and install one. Removing a pickguard from a Les Paul is a
A pickguard can affect the tone of an acoustic guitar in a couple of ways. The pickguard material itself can affect the tone, with some materials sounding brighter or more resonant than others. The thickness of the pickguard can also affect the tone, with thinner pickguards allowing the body of the guitar to vibrate more, resulting in a fuller sound.
No, an electric guitar does not need a pick guard. While some guitarists prefer to use one, it is not necessary.
The process for installing a pick guard varies depending on the guitar. In most cases, the pick guard will come with adhesive backing. Simply peel off the backing and apply the pick guard to the desired location. For guitars that do not have adhesive backing, the pick guard must be secured with screws. Most pick guards will come with pre-drilled holes. Simply align the pick guard with the holes and screw it in place.
There are a few things to consider when choosing a pickguard. The first is the material. The most common materials are plastic and metal, but there are also a few other options available. The next thing to consider is the size and shape of the pickguard. The size and shape will depend on the model of your guitar and your personal preference. The last thing to consider is the color. The color of the pickguard should match the rest of the guitar, or be a contrast that you like.
