B,W&R has done it again! The Custom Engraved Alminium Pickguard is carefully handcrafted and engraved on corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy! This is a must-have item for the individualist, instantly transforming an ordinary guitar into your own special custom guitar. In addition to the standard Strat, SSH, and Telecas pickguards, the lineup is expanding with more and more designs, so keep your eyes peeled!
Cool! Not only cool!
This guard has a tough thickness of 1.5mm, and was chosen from among many prototypes for its sound, looks, and durability. As one would expect from a guitar manufacturer with such an established reputation, B, W&R did more than just look good. The sound has a nice glare and a strong, sexy presence, perhaps due to its metal characteristics.（※1）
The shielding effect is also enhanced, making it resistant to noise.（※2）It's more than just a decoration. As one would expect from an accessory guard designed by a guitar craftsman!
1 Sound varies depending on the body material and pickup characteristics.
2 Noise resistance is increased, but it is not effective in eliminating noise.
A wide variety of designs! Choose from a variety of engraving patterns!
These are the two types of engraving patterns
Black Line
A carefully engraved design finished with black paint. The black lines on the metal surface make the unique design stand out even more. The gorgeous finish emphasizes the impact of the design.
Plain
For those who want to enjoy the texture of the engraving as it is, we recommend this plain version. The way the design appears and disappears depending on the angle of the light is sexy, and it also has an austere quality that will not wear out with use. It is also slightly more affordable than the black line.
You will want this and that! Accessorized Guard Collection
Gorgeous textured leaf
(Plain is not available.)
This design recreates the conflicting theme of reproducing the life of plants on a metal ground. This model is B,W&R's top choice.
Cute fairy tale dragon
(Plane is not available).
The classic dragon design is transformed by B,W&R. The engraving of the dragon is gorgeous, but its expression is actually very cute. It looks cool from a distance and cute when you look at it closely. It is sure to be popular among girls.
Feel like a treasure hunter!
Plain is also available.
A long time ago, when there was no such thing as Google Maps. Men set out on a journey with a map and a compass in hand. In search of faraway treasures. The compass design reflects this mood in the modern age. Where is the treasure you seek?
A rock 'n' roll classic! Skull
You can also choose plain.
Once upon a time, Soujun Ikkyu (the adult Ikkyu) walked the streets with a skull on the tip of his walking stick to remind people not to get carried away just because it was New Year's, but to think about life in this world, which is always facing death...but that story is beside the point. The skull mark, designed by B,W&R, has been reborn as a cool and sharp image.
A must for gals! Fantastic Heart
Plain is also available.
Cute! This is our top choice in the "cute" category! If you're worried that there aren't many guitars designed for girls, this is the perfect fit for you! Even an ordinary guitar will be transformed into a gyaru special at once! It will surely add color to your stage performance. This is an item for male guitarists who want to "win the hearts of the girls with this!
Simple and cool trim
Plain is also available.
Designed for the tough guy who doesn't want unnecessary decorations, but wants quality and heavy-duty.
The lines on the outer circumference only tighten the presence and create a fearless image. With a look that would look great on any guitar, it is the number one hidden popularity!
Not psychedelic! Paisley
Plain is also available.
It's called "psychedelic psychedelic" and is a symbol of the 60s and 70s, but in this way, it's an amazingly modern and stylish gala, isn't it? Paisley. The monotone engraving on the metal surface brings out pop and sharpness, and I realize now that it is an amazing design. It's not retro, but rather futuristic metal paisley is cool. But I think it's also possible to be an overdone kun with a pink paisley Strat or something...
There are also some for Telecas!
The Telecaster, with its simple and tough image, looks great with a wild accessory guard like this. Because of its simplicity, a single guard can definitely change the look of a Telecaster. If you have ever thought that Telecasters have few unique custom parts, this is the best match for you!
Handcrafted by hand
The B,W&R logo and serial number are engraved on the back side of the accessory guard.
All of the accessory guards introduced here are carefully finished one by one by the hands of skilled craftsmen who operate machines that boast of precision. The actual size is created from a design drawing, and detailed patterns are engraved one by one, a process that can be quite tedious. For example, the eyes of the skull design above alone took hours of work. And even after spending more than ten hours on it, the finished product is sometimes rejected because the artist is not satisfied with the final product! It is said that there are even cases where the finished product is rejected. Because only the very best of the best are shipped, each design is limited to a certain number of customers. They have many new ideas, so they are not sure how long they will be able to continue making the designs shown here. This is a bit disappointing, but at the same time, we are looking forward to seeing the new designs. In any case, we cannot take our eyes off B,W&R in the future!
An ordinary Strat has become so gorgeous!
