Tortoiseshell pickguards, done right.

As true fans of vintage Fender guitars, we've always loved the looks of the original tortoiseshell pickguards from the 60's.

So much that we asked ourselves: can we bring back the magic?

In 2019, we would embark on a journey to revive this long lost savoir-faire...

 

The result is Avantguard®.

 

A collection of captivating, colorful and vintage-correct pickguards that we each lovingly handcraft in our workshop near Paris, France.
