PICKGUARD MATERIAL BANK

Dive into the richness and diversity of our Pickguard Material Bank. Here, you'll find a wide array of materials chosen meticulously for their quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal. This wide selection allows you to perfectly tailor the look of your instrument to match your personal style, taste, and the distinct aesthetic you wish to portray.

Our Pickguard Material Bank boasts a vast array of choices. From classic single-color options to intricate multi-layered designs, from traditional tortoiseshell patterns to avant-garde and unique graphic inlays. We source materials that offer a stunning blend of colors, patterns, and textures to cater to every musician's preferences.

Beyond aesthetics, the materials we use for our pickguards are chosen for their resilience and longevity. They are crafted to endure, just like the instruments they adorn, offering you a perfect balance between form and function.

Discover the natural beauty and unique charm of our wooden pickguards. Each piece is hand-crafted and specially selected for its aesthetic qualities and durability. Our range of woods includes selections like Mahogany, Walnut, Maple, Rosewood, and Ebony, among others. However, the selection is not limited to these - we continually explore and add unique and interesting woods from around the globe.

Each wooden pickguard presents its own unique grain pattern, color, and texture, adding a distinctive and organic touch to your instrument. These wooden pickguards not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your instrument but also link it directly to the essence of nature, providing a tactile reminder of the raw materials from which your music emerges.

And of course, we can make it match your top by machining it out of the top itself before assembly, or use any other essence from your instrument’s blend

At Belforti Instruments, we recognize our responsibility towards the environment, and that's why we're delighted to offer pickguards made from recycled materials. Our pickguards crafted from compressed recycled plastic not only offer unique aesthetics but also provide an eco-friendly choice for the environmentally conscious musician.

These recycled pickguards carry their own unique visual appeal. Flecks, swirls, and varied textures arise from the compression process, making each pickguard a one-of-a-kind piece. Just as every musician has a unique sound, each of these pickguards has a distinct visual identity.
