Hey guys. Any idea where I can find pickguards such as this (as in with unique design) :

Thanks!(:
 
i dont think you can find acoustic designed pickguards in singapore.
Normally the "unique" pickguard design you see on an acoustic comes stock on certain models only.

You can probably only find the transparent removable type of acoustic pickguard here in singapore.

The guitar in that picture is either a Gibson or an Epiphone humming bird. i think its an Epiphone ;]
 
It's definitely an Epiphone Hummingbird. The logo on the headstock is too long to be Gibson.

I've seen some pickguards around at some shops (I saw a few at Ranking I think) and they look pretty good, but thing about acoustic guitars is that they all have different-sized soundholes, so those might not fit your guitar either.
 
Those are the signature hummingbird/ dove pickguards that Gibson/Epiphone has.

Short of customising your own, or buying some replicas, you won't be able to find one.

Anyway, I've never bothered too much about pickguards on my acoustics. Especially the large ones, I find that it stifles my top.

Also, I don't like how opaque pickguards leave a tan mark on my top when I decide to remove it to change to something else.

For me, as far as pickguards are concerned on acoustics. The smaller and thinner the better.

I'm using one of those thin, tear-drop shaped transparent ones. Protects my guitar, but with minimal intrusion everywhere else.
 
Haha. I on the other hand prefer having pickguards. XD I find that it boosts the aesthetic appeal.

Anyway, decided to check out ranking but only found those normal pickguards and since art friend was opposite... & for under $10 i sorta had a customized pickguard by yours truly(: Although it might not look that nice (no talent for art or whatsoever) it is definitely unique with only one piece in the world!
