Serious rotting guard on a 51 Epi ZDR, so I made a repro. Still have to do the cutouts but to get the idea

Very nice job! And a nice looking old Epiphone too.

At the end of the summer growing season, I like harvesting the Epiphone bush that I got from Frank.

Are the pick guards in the last photo for non cutaway guitars? I have been thinking of a guard for my 1950 Triumph. It came with a Gibson style bound pickguard and a screw hole in the top. The guard had to go. Do you make these for sale and have the correct mounting hardware? they are beautiful! Thanks john

Inspiring! I recently traced and made a wide-bevel replacement pickguard for my ES-175. It turned out nicely, but I was thinking about making a tort-celluloid 'guard with binding and was pricing out make-vs-buy. I usually defer to 'make' since I like a challenge and the satisfaction.

Your post just kicked in the inspiration for me to follow through with building an L5 style pickguard and replace the one I just cut.

All non-cutaway. Two of the pickguards were handmade by our very own fws6. The third belongs to a 1948 Epiphone Deluxe.

I used to make them to order and sell them , but moved to an appartment and no longer have a workshop. So now I only occasionally make one at the kitchen table for myself
