This is the exact guard you will receive! Color is dark brown tortoiseshell acrylic with 5-ply binding with Cream and what I call "Blackout" binding -- Gibson used an extra thick black layer of binding on their guitars in the 50's. I can route this to accommodate pickups as well. This pickguard is made to fit the Gibson L-5C (L-5 with a cutaway), but will fit any 17" lower bout archtop guitar with a cutaway. Would look great on an Epiphone Emperor Regent or Broadway.
I ship my archtop pickguards undrilled to match all applications. Each guard is fully cut and polished by hand.
