New Tele® Pickguards

Just added some new pickguards for our TL kits. They are from a new supplier, very good quality and well priced.

Added 3 Ply White, Black, Parchment, Blue Pearloid and Cream (Antique White).

Plus there's a Chrome "Mirror" finish 1 ply guard and a Genuine Bakelite® Black guard.

Looks cool.

Nice.

Are these specially designed to fit the PitBull kits, as there can be differences in heel size between the PBG kits and the US originals?

Hi Simon, no they are not made for our kits, specifically, but I did check a few and they seemed to be a perfect fit for ours.

I've also noticed some builders using genuine necks on our kits and they seem to fit well. So, I thought we had the same specs.

I'll have a bit more of a play when I'm back in the Warehouse on Friday and make certain it's a good fit for our kits (and my Genuine Tele).

There are some differences in neck heel fits (but only normally by 1mm or so), so it's worth adding the heel cut-out width to the descriptions to avoid disappointment.

The description from the supplier says they are for Fender® American Standard Telecaster. They do fit our kits perfectly.

We can add the heel width if members think this is necessary.

Some new colours just landed:

Clear

Clear is a good addition. Just need to ask the factory to make a smaller neck rout to suit single coil pickup and save the humbucker size for other Tele's and custom kits.

Hey Waz, that is a single coil rout, sorry if it's not errr clear in the photo. Phil W cam up with a good idea today... take this photo on top of a Spalted TL Body. Will do this when I get time.

I think Waz means the neck pickup route in to body. A clear pickguard will just show the size of the massive route.

Ahh, ok, I see what you mean

I believe the GTL kits are routed for singles and we can go this way for all TL kits, and introduce TLH-1 kits, with 'bucker routing in smaller quantity.

Thanks Fretty & Adam, exactly what I was trying to say.
