Very nice, congrats!
I just measured mine, the diameter of the sound hole is also 3.75”. The pick guard is about 8” long. I’d go with the one pictured below, I’m pretty sure it’s the one I got. If you want you could try to compare specs to a Guild 100 series OM.Thanks, that could be helpful. They are different models so may not even be the same. I measured the soundhole and it's 3.75'' across.
That may very well be what it stands for but when I think Antique Burst I think more along the lines of the D50 in my avatar pic. Orange/yellow and fading to black on the edges. No red. Whatever it's called, it's a beauty.Here’s the label maybe it stands for Antique Sun Burst?
Thanks for measuring. I'll try to find the specs for the 100 series and see if they line up. For $16 I may just take the chance and order it.I just measured mine, the diameter of the sound hole is also 3.75”. The pick guard is about 8” long.

Mine says ATB for Antique Burst. They may have used different abbreviations in different production runs.Here’s the label maybe it stands for Antique Sun Burst?

I'd like to change the pickguard on mine too.
I'm sure they just wanted to differentiate them from the USA Guilds but yes, they are awful.if You want to change the pick guard here’s the link again. https://shop.guildguitars.com/product/pickguard-tortoise-100-series-d-and-om/?v=7516fd43adaa I can’t tell you how that little change made such a big difference!

Mine arrived yesterday but I have not had time to put it on. How did you get the old guard off? A hair dryer?I ordered up a pickguard and it arrived today. I went with the D55 guard because I measured my D50 and it seemed like it would fit. Figured the D50 and 55 guard would be the same.
I’m not crazy about the quality for $25 but it’s about the only off the shelf option I could find.
I just peeled it off slowly and cleaned up the leftover glue with naptha. I wasn’t really worried about damaging the finish. Poly is pretty tough.Mine arrived yesterday but I have not had time to put it on. How did you get the old guard off? A hair dryer?
Yeah, it could be a little big. Hard to tell what fits what on the website. I was going for something like this:Looks good, maybe a tad big, I might’ve gone with the jumbo jr or 100 series pickguard on that
I think it came out pretty darn close to that. Mission accomplished!I was going for something like this
And a beautiful guitar to go with the beautiful day.new pick guard is such an improvement!Beautiful day out today so I had to get a pic.
