Guitar Scratchplates / Pick Guards

Guitar Scratchplates (or Pickguards as they are also known) not only keep your instrument from being damaged with unwanted pick marks but also contribute to the appearance of the instrument. Many guitars such as the Stratocaster, Telecaster and Les Paul have their own style of pickguard and have been designed to best protect and complement the look of the instrument. They are usually made of plastic and come in a variety of colours and styles, from plain colours to multi-ply or tortoise shell style aesthetics. Replacement pickguards are available from many top brands such as Fender and upgrade options are also a possibility thanks to Seymour Duncan. Whether you are looking to change the appearance of your instrument with a different colour scratchplate, freshen it up with a new pickguard or are looking to change to different electronics or pickup configurations, these are often top of the accessory list.
