Bring Vintage Magic to life with Avantguard® Tortoiseshell Celluloid Pickguards.
At Avantguard®, our passion for vintage Fender guitars runs deep, especially when it comes to the exquisite allure of the original tortoiseshell celluloid pickguards from the iconic '60s era.
Considering how much they enhance a guitar's aesthetic, we asked ourselves if we could craft them just the way they were back then. So, we embarked on a journey to revive this lost art...
The result? A breathtaking collection of captivating, soulful, and authentic pickguards, lovingly handcrafted in our workshop in the heart of Paris, France.
Now, it's your turn to enhance your guitar's allure and get your mojo rising with Avantguard® tortoiseshell pickguards!
