Smile Hand Made Tortoise Pickguards
Hello everyone, I make pickguards in the style of Tor-Tis. They're vintage inspired tortoise shell patterned. Each pickguard is individually made, no two are alike. Pickguards features distinct patterns that are three dimensional and use a high grade 3M adhesive back (peel/stick). I currently make Martin D-28, D-35, D-45, OM, 000, 00, 0 and Gibson J-45, J-50, SJ, SJ-200, L-00, AJ shapes. My pickguards averages about 0.075" in thickness. I ship all over USA and Canada.

I'm in the process of getting a website made, in the mean time if anyone is interested please check out my Reverb shop for my current inventory. You're welcome to buy direct from me on here (AGF) to save on tax.

Below are examples of my work.

They look great! I was always a fan of John Greven's TorTis guards, & these look just like them! I will be ordering one from you .....

I make/dye these one by one, they’re not cut from a sheet of premade material if thats what you mean.

*BUMP*

Just had a pickguard made for my Yamaha FG700S. This guy does outstanding work. As always, a picture is worth a thousand words…
