Anyone know of an online site where you can order custom pickguards? I'm saving up for a Gretsch 5120 Electromatic Hollowbody Guitar but I was thinking of putting in a custom pickguard because the clear one looks kinda gay. I was gonna go with a white pearl pickguard but I can't seem to find a site that makes custom pickguards for Gretsch guitars. Any suggestions?

I don't know any custom pickguard sites that have pickguards for Gretsch guitars. But if you know a place that cuts out pickguards, you can order blanks from
Warmoth.

Do you think I could order the pickguard material from there and then cut it out myself? Or would it be too hard to pull off?

Personally, I wouldn't trust myself to do anything with my guitar unless I had the right knowledge and tools. That Gretsch pickguard looks pretty simple though. You could probably pull it off depending on whether you care or not on the possiblity of it being off a little in certain spots.

Well the I'd take the pickguard off the guitar, trace the shape into that pickguard material and then cut it out with like a jigsaw or something. Would that work?
