Custom pickguards

I'm really gassing for a Reverend Charger 290 in pink but think it would look much better with a tortoiseshell guard rather than the white it comes with. Anyone know of anyone in UK who could make one ?

Can't Reverend supply one? The black ones come with a torty guard.

Personally I think white on pink looks better but each to their own...

Yeah. Recent discovery by mistake tbh. 

Turns out the authorised repairer for Esp guitars in the Uk is a dude called Jack.

Anyway, I was checking his website out and seems to be able to make whatever, in whatever, for whatever. 

I might give him a go myself for an Lpj guard soon.

Sadly not. Their website says they don't sell parts. They link to a pickguard company in USA but if I get a guitar I'd want a UK supplier

Glen at Axion makes a lot for my customers, sure he can help https://www.axioncustom.co.uk/

Jack and his team are fantastic, can't recommend them enough. They've done a lovely 3-ply black guard for my Tele (as well as fully assembling it from parts) and a really cool copper guard for one of my mates.

Another vote from me

Yep, did one for me too one - needed to slightly ease the holes for the single coils, but worked out great

Jacks Instrument Services has been recommended to me by a mate who's used them a few times. Not used them myself, but Sims (https://www.sims.guitars/custom-shop/pickguards) did a great job of making me a replacement pick guard for my Suhr T style with P90s based on the original, which I sent them as a template.

I can also recommend Glen at Axion.  He made me a couple of custom pickguards which had no issues, and both were non standard.  One was a jaguar style for a Jazzmaster and the other was this:


Which is about as non-standard as you can get.

I’ve used jacks - very good
theres also a place called scratch it or something that does custom stuff that’s basically printed acrylic. I’ve used hi. A few times as he’s local to me. He can’t do shell etc but he can do batman logos or any pictures you wanted on a pickguard 
also does bass drum skins and beet mats too

Another thumbs up for Jack’s. Great to deal with and very high quality work
