Green Faux Stainless Steel Spiral Textured Pickguard - Fits Fender Telecaster - USA Made - Acrylic Plastic (Copy)

For the Telecaster player who believes twang should have teeth, this is not a decal and not a printed graphic. It is a laser-engraved tri-layer acrylic — industrial-grade, USA-sourced, and built for the stage. The spiral is engraved through a stainless-steel-look top layer that reveals a vibrant Green acrylic background underneath, and the color has been lightly distressed to give it a worn-in, vintage feel — not relic'd to death. The finish is matte with a subtle brushed-metal texture that feels premium under your fingers. When stage lights hit it, the spiral flashes and shifts like brushed chrome; when you step back, it becomes a ghost pattern. Your audience won't know what they're looking at, but they'll know your Tele is anything but stock.

This pickguard fits standard Fender Telecasters (USA and Mexican made) and is available in four pickup configurations to cover virtually any Tele out there. The Standard configuration is the classic dual single-coil setup. The Esquire configuration has a single neck pickup route for the ultimate no-nonsense, one-pickup rock machine. The Humbucker route accommodates a humbucker in the neck position for players who want fat, gritty tone. And the Nashville configuration adds a middle pickup route for that three-pickup Telecaster twang with extra versatility. No modification is needed to your guitar — this is a true drop-in replacement as long as your Tele uses the standard eight-screw mounting pattern.

The material is built from three layers: a stainless-steel-finish acrylic plastic top layer that receives the laser-engraved swirl, an ultra-thin Green second layer that has been lightly distressed for vintage character, and a Black acrylic core. Total thickness is 2.4mm, about the same thickness as a fender OEM pickguard, with a precision profile so mounting screws sit perfectly. Every guard is made in the USA on a commercial CO2 laser and then hand-finished.

Telecaster players have always been a different breed. Leo's original design was utilitarian — simple, replaceable, workhorse. But somewhere between the Bakersfield sound and the punk rock basements of the late 70s, the Tele became the ultimate mod platform. Roy Buchanan played a beat-to-hell Tele that looked like it survived a war. Joe Strummer's 1966 Telecaster wore its scars like badges. And in the late 80s, even the shredders couldn't ignore the Tele — Danny Gatton was doing things that made Strat players nervous, and John 5 would later prove that a Tele can be just as metal as anything with a pointy headstock. This pickguard belongs on that same workbench. It is for the player who wants a Tele that looks like it has stories to tell — not a museum piece, but a tool that has lived.


📌 Material Note: This pickguard is made from premium acrylic, not mass-produced PVC. Acrylic is intentionally more flexible— and is the industry standard for custom graphic and texture work. The slight flexibility helps with fitting and is by design. If you're used to stiff rigid PVC factory guards, this will feel different. That's the point.
