Aristocrat pickguard

[aristomaniac]

Hi everyone I have still had no luck finding an Aristocrat pick guard. Guild parts no longer seem to be available directly from Guild.
I am still searching , but thought I'd ask if anyone has a tracing or template of one. I understand that the recent Korean made ones are a good match.
I would be more than happy to compensate you for the effort.

What year Aristocrat?

Hi And thanks for the reply . Any year would be fine. As I understand it even the new ones fit late 50's Aristocrats pretty well.
Thanks again Alex

I have a 1954 and a 1963 Aristocrat and can trace either pickguard one for you. The 1954 one has shrunk some so you might want to “adjust“ the size slightly if that is the style you need. FYI - A newer aristocrat pickguard does not fit my 1963. The shape, size and mounting holes are correct but the neck pickup cutout is in a different place and won’t fit around the pickup. PM me and we can coordinate.

Hello Aristomaniac.

I had a problem with the (shrunken and warped) pick guard on my 1954 M-75. Same general shape and contour as the Aristocrat pick guard. I found a guy who was able to match the pick guard using new material. See my post under the M-75 Forum on LTG. Good luck with it!
