Left handed MIJ Alu Pickguard Hunt

Post by noctnikkor » Thu Oct 21, 2021 12:40 pm

I'm on the hunt for a gold anodized pickguard for my 2018 MIJ 60s traditional JM. So far I've had no luck, apart from finding gold acrylic ones, which are a "mirror" finish rather than the anodized finish.

I've had a look at flipping right handed guards but they lack the bevelling to get a nice neat fit.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Would contact HERAD to see if he can help you out:

He is also 'gdayj' on this forum.

Can confirm that Gdayj/HERAD does great work. Super dude to work with. My anodized JM guard is from him.

AFAIK the anodized guards are not beveled on the edges - unless you mean the countersinking for the screw holes, which you could possibly do yourself.

Yeah I gather they are just a plain edge, just meaning for the screw holes
