This pickguard does not have any shielding as it
comes to us from Fender, you should consider
including item # 001-9699-049
to fully shield your pickguard.
All tortoise shell pickguards are subject to
warping and shrinkage and these we get from
Fender are warped, it is a characteristic of the celluloid
and vinyl layering. Here is a
link to an informative article provided by
Fender all about the Tortoise Shell material.
Tortoise shell is prone to pitting scattered
across the entire surface, this is a
characteristic we have seen for as long as we've
worked with Tortoise shell and is not something
we consider as defect since it is found on every
Tortoise shell pickguard we receive from Fender.
Just about all of these Tortoise shell
pickguards we receive from Fender are warped, if
you feel this may be a problem if the one you
receive is warped, then please do not place an
order for this pickguard.
Price: $49.00 Each
