Sources for celluloid jaguar pickguards?
Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2016 10:13 pm
I'm putting together a vintage partscaster Jaguar, and have been looking for a (new) real, mint celluloid guard to put on it. There's a guy in Canada who made me an absolutely killer strat guard for my last project (the best new-production celluloid I have ever seen), but he doesn't do jags unfortunately.
On eBay, there seem to be some cheap Asian celluloid guards by a vendor named "overstocktoys", but that name doesn't inspire confidence in vintage accuracy, and the price of $75 US doesn't either. Has anyone seen one of these guards in the flesh, and were they the real deal? If not, do you have any suggestions for alternative sources?
This is going on a LPB (yellowed clear coat/kinda toward OTM) body and I really want to go with mint - if it was another colour I'd probably go spitfire.
