Fit Info
Fit Info
Vintage Collection Info:
Our Pickguards are Made to USA Specs, which will typically fit Mexico, USA and Custom Shop guitars. Some Vintage Guitars may have small tolerance variations with fit due to being built without CNC.
Our Knobs, Covers & Tips are made to fit USA Imperial Sized Electronics (ie: CTS pots, CRL Switches, Switchcraft Switches, USA Pickup Pole Spacing, etc.) These specs will also match with most Mexican, Custom Shop or Genuine Vintage Guitars. Knobs with Set Screws are typically made to fit Solid Shaft Pots.
Our Hardware typically uses Genuine Branded Parts (Fender, Gibson, Kluson, etc) or Our Own Gotoh Made items. These items should all be a direct fit with the respective guitars from those manufacturers (Mexico, USA, Custom Shop and most Vintage Guitars should be compatible, but always refer to the sizing in the description).
Absolutly great
Amazing replica pickguard. Worth every penny!
Pleased to say that after a long wait I wasn’t disappointed in fit or finish
Amazing work, looks awesome! Wait time was beyond absurd but this is a very high quality, expertly reliced puckguard. Far superior to fender custom shop.
When I bought my Fender 63 Telecaster, I was looking for a new mint green pickguard because the mint green pickguard that came with it was a bit odd.
I searched for hours but couldn't find a vintage type mint green pickguard, and was about to give up.
I found this 1960's Frusciante "F" Pickguard in Mint for sale at Realistic Relics and I loved the color and design so much I bought it right away.
After actual use, I would like to write a review. It is a custom shop guitar with some relics and the color and combination are great.
As the product description says, the 'F' pattern is engraved very naturally, and it doesn't feel awkward to the touch and is perfect visually.
I was just storing the guitar until the pickguard came, but after replacing the pickguard, I kept reaching for the guitar.
Since the NOS type V2 version pickguard has been released, if you own a custom shop Telecaster that matches the mint green, I highly recommend purchasing it.
