WD was the first to pioneer the aftermarket pickguard industry in 1978, ever since we've been the industry's most reliable source for replacement pickguards. Our standard pickguards are guaranteed to fit the original, unmodified instrument model intended as listed (may be indicated by country of origin, manufactured date, specific brand/model/series, etc). Custom shop pickguards are guaranteed to be cut accurately to the customer provided original template.
Pickguard Return Policy
Pickguard Warranty
Please do not remove the protective cover film or place any components on the pickguard until you have test fit the pickguard to the instrument. Please ensure all mounting holes, pickup cuts, and other component locations are positioned correctly prior to installation using any tools, hardware, screws, or adhesive. If any issues are discovered prior to installation please contact us for replacement instructions. Cover film removal will void the pickguard replacement warranty.
Pickguard Returns
Return eligibility is based on three main product categories, standard pickguards, modified-standard pickguards, and custom shop pickguards.
Return/Exchange Eligible Products
Standard Pickguards
Non-modified pickguards with an SKU model number (not "CUSTOM-#"), pickguards purchased in their original standard configuration or "as pictured". Standard pickguards in new original condition are eligible for exchange or refund and may be subject to a 15% restocking fee.
Replacement Only Products
Due to the handcrafted, custom nature of our products, modified standard models or custom shop pickguards are replacement only. Replacement only products may be returned if found to be defective or incorrect, they are otherwise non-returnable/non-refundable.
Modified-Standard Pickguards
Standard pickguards with modifications. This may include custom bevels, foil backing or other modifications such as the addition or deletion of control and pickup holes. Applying any specially marked (NR*) modification to a standard model will qualify the pickguard as modified-standard.
Custom Shop Pickguards
Pickguard models that are not available on our website or heavily modified standard models. Typically, custom pickguards are made from submitted tracings, original pickguards, custom tooling, or technical drawings. These pickguards may also include custom bevels, foil backing or other modifications such as the addition or deletion of control and pickup holes.
Other Exceptions
Special sale and clearance items are "final sale" and ineligible for return. Exceptions will be made only for factory defects or errors in shipment.
