With 5 layers of hand-glued binding and dark brown tortoiseshell acrylic material, this new replacement Gibson L-5 pickguard is as what dreams are made of. This is a replacement pickguard for the Gibson L5 non-cutaway guitar, but it will fit and really level up the look of any 16 or 17-inch archtop. The guard measures about 9 7/8" long.
Check out our Materials & Colors page to see what we have available in addition to those listed. All bound guards also available with Cream binding instead of White; please leave a Note on your order. Use our Contact Form to order a custom guard or add details to your order.
These guards are made-to-order, and the current build time is 2-3 weeks.
I ship my guards undrilled to match all applications. Each guard is fully cut and polished by hand. Material pattern will vary between each guard. I use two layers to create the thickest outer binding layer, as Epiphone and Gibson have done. I find it lasts longer this way.
