Fox Guitars is a fully-equipped custom pickguard fabrication shop capable of reproducing any pickguard to exact specifications. This includes electric and acoustic guitars, mandolins, mandolas, mando-cellos, banjos, and many more. There are never any set up fees so all you have to is supply a tracing, scan or some type of template and we will fabricate it. Quick turnaround and very reasonable prices.

If you don't see the pickguard you are looking for, we can fabricate just about any design you need. Custom pickguards are reasonably priced and turn around is quick, usually 5-7 days. We stock many templates for other pickguards, or you can supply your own template. You can choose from a variety of colors and materials we have available.
