I am curious if there is any interest in us stocking unlacquered bakelite pickguards?
Obviously price will have a bearing, but is the thought of lacquering them yourself off-putting?
I’m quite taken with the raw appearance – this is how they come on the Japanese TL52.
What say you?
I’m definitely interested in a Telecaster ‘5’ hole bakalite pickguard.
I’m trying to put together a budget ’52 type Telecaster, it would be wonderful to have a cheaper bakalite option, rather than have to use a one ply plastic guard.
Un-lacquered would be a bonus too, leaving the choice to lacquer or not and it should be cheaper in the raw. Rothko & Frost do one for about £17 I think, so it would have to be cheaper than that.
Hi Jeremy
I have sent you an email.
