Screws are NOT included with our guards.

Please keep in mind that many manufacturers may make a similar model instrument, but this does not mean that each pickguard of this type is interchangeable. Pickguards can differ very minutely even by the year within the same make and model. If your instrument does not match up exactly with our listing’s year, make, and model, please message us and we can assist you with finding the correct guard. All pickguards come with a protective masking that should NOT be peeled or removed until fitment has been confirmed. Pickguards are non-refundable once the masking is removed. Masking may be clear, blue, or brown. All pickguards come with a 45° bevel unless .070" or thinner, which will have no bevel. Some backplates, cavity plates, switch covers, etc., do not have a bevel regardless of material thickness.

ORDER CHANGES

Once your order is placed, we may not be able to accommodate any changes to your order. Your order may not say it has been shipped yet, but it may have already been made. Please be sure to ask any questions you may have prior to ordering.

MODIFICATIONS

We are able to make modifications to all of our pickguards. We can delete pickups or controls for no additional fee. Modifying or adding pickups or controls will vary between $5-$15. We can remove the mounting holes for $15. Available upon request, we also offer a 30° wide bevel for $5, as well as full copper shielding for $20. Making a modification, changing to a wide bevel, or adding full copper shielding will make the pickguard non-refundable unless there is a fault due to Paradox’s error.

DISCLAIMERS

All of our pickguards are precision made based off of OEM pickguards. Due to manufacturing tolerances with instruments, some pickguards may require slight modification in order to fit properly. Most higher end instruments do not have this issue, it is more so prevalent in older model lower cost instruments. A millimeter of variance is an acceptable margin of error in many cases. The graphic materials are not guaranteed to have any specific design in any specific location on the pickguard. The material is random and we are unable to accommodate requests to place specific parts on specific sections. Due to the nature of these materials and variability in mobile or desktop screens, lighting, or print, the pickguard material you receive may differ slightly in pattern or hue to that pictured.
