Where to get a pickguard like this? (Jaguar HH)

Post by Flammable » Mon Mar 20, 2023 3:01 am

Hi people,

where might I find a pickguard like this for a Jaguar HH? Usually tortoise pickguards are more yellow and ones like this are rare.

That's the Japan made printed red tortoise you see on the MIJ Fenders. I used to be able to get it in sheets but I haven't seen it available in the US for several years. I have one piece left big enough for a Jag guard.
It looks very bright in that photo. To the eye it is more subdued.

I actually think that is the red tortoise that WD Music sells for their pickguards. Material #05R.

It's pretty popular and they seem to have a hard time keeping it in stock.

Pickguardian or warmoth would be my go to,, that I think might have that red tort (vs the normal non-mij tort I would typically call brown).

I'm holding some WD red tort in my hand. It doesn't appear to be the WD red celluloid material for sure. They had a terrible looking printed red, and that could be what the OP's photo is. WD doesn't show ANY red tort available right now.
