Inspired by Waylon Jennings's leather guitar cover.
My take for the tele-style pickguard.

I personally hand tool each of my pickguards. The leather is mounted on a one ply plastic backing to prevent roll up, stretching or shrinking. The backing is thick enough to accommodate pickup adjustment screws.

Custom orders welcomed.

Custom Leather Pickguard on Custom Honeycaster

Dig the Western Honeycaster
Here's what a customer says about my Western Floral Tele pickguard on the TDRI Telecaster Forum:

"The hand-tooled leather pickguard was made by M.K. Holloway from the Dallas area. M.K. is a true artist and a joy to work with! The custom leather strap was made for me by TDPRI's own Bob Schell of Brookwood Leathers. Bob was also a joy to work with. I sent him the guard and he was able to color-match the strap. Incredible quality too!"

Good looking guitar, Rick.

CUSTOM LEATHER PICKGUARDS



CUSTOM TOOLED LEATHER PICKGUARD ANY STYLE
Do you have a custom tele project guitar that needs that final touch? Or a stock guitar you want to accent with a custom leather pickguard? I can do that. Each of my pickguards is individually hand carved and hand tooled by me for you. I am always adding new designs to my Western Style Pickguards. I can also custom design a pickguard with your logo or image. Let me know what you need.
Contact me.
Pictured: Nashville with Strat Pickups
Pickups not included




This is my signature Western style Precision Bass hand tooled leather pickguard.
I recently sold the pickguard in this photograph. I have one more in stock at this time. It's undyed and still a natural leather color. I can dye it to your specification or give it a clear coat. Have another design or logo in mind? Write to me with your request and I will work you up an estimate. Contact me.
