Since 2004 I have provided high quality real wood veneer pickguard products to customize your acoustic or electric guitar.

ThinWood™ Acoustic Pickguards

Ultra-thin real wood pickguard material, as thin as common plastic guards with 40% less weight. Beautiful and excellent for protecting your guitar's soundboard with minimal sound dampening to the complex movement of the guitar top. 

  • Epoxy Pressed Raw Wood Veneer
  • Finished thickness = .018 to .024 inch (as thick as a guitar's B or G string)
  • Luthier Grade Double Stick Adhesive Backing. Peel and Stick
  • Oil rub or lacquer finish available
  • Wide variety of beautiful wood species

Available in a wide range of styles for popular manufacturers like Martin, Lowden, Gibson, Seagull, Taylor, etc

 


GuitarWoody™ for Electric Guitar & Bass

The GuitarWoody™is a beautiful wood veneer pickguard fabricated in a multiply design, basically a hand crafted plywood. I start with striking wood veneer as a top layer with the subsequent layers alternating white/brown/white/brown, laminated with marine epoxy (West Systems) for durabiliy and humidity stability. When the edge is beveled, it creates a lined edge as can be seen in the photo. In addition to beautiful wood species, I also provide excellent finish skills if your looking for a high gloss, mirror-like finish to really set off the grain and figure of the wood! 

I also make solid wood guards from the finest wood I can find but I'm hard pressed to find solid pieces with the level of figure I can find in wood veneer


Custom Work

I really enjoy and welcome the challenge of custom work, where we take your idea, no matter how developed, and turn them into a custom product. Contact me at artisanguitarrepair@gmail.com. Call or text (608)738-2497
