 Acoustic Pick Guard Materials Home Materials Index |
Common Question What is the difference between these acoustic materials and other materials? Answer I call these acoustic materials because they are thinner than standard pick guard materials commonly used for electric guitars and basses. Acoustic Guitar pick guard materials are generally thinner in the range of .020 to .060. The thicker and larger the pick guard is that you apply to your guitar will have more and more of an effect on the tone. FOr example, if you have a very thin little pick guard and you want to replace it with a larger thicker pick guard you should expect to hear some difference in how the guitar sounds. While it is not unheard of to use a .090 thicker electric guitar material, it is not considered an industry standard practice.
Other materials .060" thick suitable for acoustic pick guards
* Reverse engraving means it can be engraved from the back side and filled with a color to show the desired image through to the surface. Not shown above is a gloss black .060 which is also reverse engravable but has a black edge and gloss surface finish as opposed to the matte black engravable material above. There are many other materials available for engraving from my engravers plastic supplier. You can browse their catalog directly here: http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/johnsonplastics/engraving2010/#/26 I do not stock all of their materials however, I can get them so if see something you you like let me know and I'll confirm if it's laser engravable or not. Most engraving jobs will require that you contact me directly. I do not have a global method for ordering engraved pick guards online. I usually need to see what I'm up against as far as image quality is concerned. |
