Amazing quality and attention to detail! I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a custom pickguard. Communication was great. Andrew answered all my questions, created a custom order form, and shipped super fast. Awesome experience.

Customer photo review of ROCKET 88 - Engraved Neckplate - Nickel

Charles S.

Got this for a silver strat project that was already painted with a bunch of flying saucers all over the front. Like, what am i supposed to do with that but expand on a theme, right? The neck plate is probably the nicest part of guitar now LOL

John C.

I wanted a plain cream/black/cream for my Strat, which I learned is indefinitely out of stock. Andrew was very cool and easy to deal with—he sold me one anyway, and I love it. Gonna buy a black streamline for my black jazzmaster next.

Customer photo review of THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS - Engraved Neckplate - Nickel

Jules R.

The “This Machine Kills Fascists” neck plate is a nod to our musical history while being more timely than ever. The design is flawlessly cut and the pinstripe lines give it a touch of class. Everything Decoboom makes is top notch!

Michael Z.

I absolutely LOVE this pg! My strat build, "Red" is very special to me, and it needed a suitably special look. I've got a few more guitars that will be getting the Decoboom treatment right soon.

Andrew has such an amazing eye for design, and the cuts on the pickguard are just as clean as any other pickguard I've ever ordered from him. Always get tons compliments in the studio.

Everett S.

My USA, Fender Vintage II Jazzmaster has been transformed with a new Decoboom pickguard. The gold pickguard is an exact colir match to the Fender Badge on the guitar head. Excellent product and good follow up from Decoboom.

Customer photo review of Tort Mars Brown - Jazzmaster Pickguard - Genuine 4-ply Celluloid

Mark C.

This pickguard is for a new kit build of a '66 Jazzmaster I've recently started. Having purchased a previous vintage pickguard for another build, I knew Decoboom would have the right traditional brown Tortoiseshell pickguard for the JM and they did. The pickguard is four-ply and aligns to the traditional Fender diminsions. I'm very pleased with this purchase and will send pic's when the finish is complete.

Brooke B.

This pick guard is great quality and looks super sharp! It is a perfect fit and easy to install. The black outlines are engraved since the second layer of the three ply guard is black. Super cool look and I love it on my black player series tele. I would recommend.

Customer photo review of Streamline - Jaguar Pickguard - Black/White/Black

Robb P.

I have been wanting one of these Streamline pickguards for a long time. I just ordered a Fender Jaguar from the Fender Mod Shop and decided that it was the perfect style for my new guitar. It's slightly different than the stock original guard as it has extra holes in the bridge area to accommodate other Jaguar models and I was concerned that they might show on mine, but the bridge covers them perfectly and I am very happy with the fit and look.

The pickguard is super high quality. Nice and thick. It was packaged really well to protect it during shipping. I am never taking it off this guitar. It looks PERFECT. Thanks!

Robert H.

This 20 year old Fender Stratocaster came with a filthy mint green pickguard and needed a makeover with enhanced electronics and a better color scheme. The Midnight Wine finish demanded a gold pickguard, but the Fender gold anodized aluminum pickguards have a brushed surface finish that is not comfortable to the fingers. This Decoboom Acrylic Gold pickguard was the best solution. It not only fit the Stratocaster without any trimming or modifications, the screw holes were exacting in alignmen...

Eric S.

Converted a Player Jazzmaster back to a more conventional JM (actual JM pickups instead of humbuckers) and needed a pickguard with no rhythm circuit. This fit perfectly and looks great!

Vlad I.

The Sonic Blue Eames Dots pick guard was a perfect match for my Firemist Silver Custom Shop Jaguar . It is now one of the most beautiful guitar I have seen. Thanks!

Chris B.

One day a friend of mine came to my place and told me about Decoboom page, first thing i fell in love with was the Space Oddity design. The engraving looked so unique and i had no second thoughts. For my taste it doesn't combine well with my current guitar finish and still to this day as a southpaw living in Europe, you don't have many options when it comes to buying a guitar. I'm just thinking of a Silver White or Butterscotch colour. Anyway, it still looks amazing when strumming , i would defi...

Buster F.

Normally, a pickguard is, well, meh. Andrew, you are truly an artisan. The design, the detail, the creating. Really, you have no equal in your realm. Your packaging is presentation grade. You go the extra mile and it shows. I will recommend ya at every opportunity. Thanks, my friend. Respectfully, Buster Fykes

This is the next build from Woodsy Owl Guitars. The offset body will be dusted with gold flake and cleared with two part poly. Hand painted faux binding will be applied in gold. A spin on a Mary Kaye look from the fifties!

Beautifully crafted pieces that add a very personal touch to your guitar. Very elegant, well made, and shipped promptly. I’m looking forward to personalize some of my other guitars with more Decoboom parts.

Stephen W.

Awesome pickguard. Looks beautiful on my Solo Guitars Tele build. Very high quality- really nice to have the plastic film coating the cosmetic side so it doesn’t get scratched through the fitting and pick up installation process. Will be building another guitar soon and you will be the first place I come for my next pickguard. Fantastic stuff!!

Customer photo review of Three Stripes - Telecaster Pickguard - Black/White/Black

Paul W.

I bought a Squier Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster to take apart, mod, and teach my kids about guitar parts and pickups. I never expected it to turn out to be such a nice instrument, and the Decoboom Three Stripes Tele pickguard let us easily mount a humbucker-sized pickup in the neck. The design really fits with the sound, as it has a bit of an "edge" to it. The 5 hole pickguard fits the guitar pretty closely, but I would go with an 8 hole pickguard in the future and drill the extra holes, as there...

Customer photo review of Kashmir Telecaster Pickguard - Gold

Daniel S.

I now realize why my wife likes changing her hair style and color so often! I changed the pickguard on my Tele (from the Decoboom Red Tail I bought a little while ago) to the Kashmir and it looks like a brand new guitar! I'm sure I'll swap back and forth but it's nice to have options. Thanks again, Andrew, for making such great products.

Brandon P.

There’s something magical about these pickguards. A Decoboom product is a little like the perfect rug that really ties the room together. But they’re also supremely rugged. The mailman has thrice folded the mailer to cram them into my mailbox and they always look stellar when applied.

Customer photo review of Pearloid Cream - Stratocaster Pickguard - 4-ply Vinyl

Ken B.

Super high quality, fast delivery, awesome packaging. Looks awesome on the Fender Ultra Texas Tea strat. I just cannot stand the feel of an anodized aluminum pickguard, so the stock one had to go. This cream pearloid is the perfect compliment to the bronzy-not-quite-black of the new Texas Tea finish. Love it! Thank you, Decoboom. -KB, Detroit

William K.

I couldn't be happier with this purchase! The white outlines make this blackguard tele look completely unique without abandoning the classic look. You don't have to worry about the lines chipping off or anything, as they're deeply engraved rather than painted/etched on. As for the fit, it lined up perfectly with the factory holes for my 2015 MIM Tele body. Totally worth every cent!

Ragan W.

I am so pleased with how this turned out! Everything arrived quickly, was cut to spec, and fit perfectly. Customer service was outstanding. Andrew even made sure to confirm my order before processing (which was good because I had made a mistake!). I highly recommend Decoboom. Great looking, high quality stuff at a fair price.

Bruce C.

The gloss black PG on top of this matte black body, in concert with the cream accents, give us a gorgeous vintage look with a 21st Century nod. My client and I both love what this PG and trem cover do for his new guitar.

I recently purchased the Streamline Stratocaster Pickguard in Cream/Black/Cream (11-hole Standard) from Decoboom, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The pickguard arrived exactly as described, with beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail that truly stands out. Shipping was fast, and for the quality, it’s a great value. Andrew Bingham, the owner, was incredibly helpful throughout the process, providing guidance to ensure I chose the right item and answering all my questions wi...

I’ve been in love with this design since I saw my first Serek years ago and now I’ve got my own Broken Arrow pick guard. It’s perfect, from the fit, to the look, I’m thrilled with the result!

Customer photo review of Mint/Black/Mint - Jazzmaster Pickguard - 3-ply Vinyl

Miguel F.

Pure class. Want to revive your guitar’s appeal? I did too. I couldn’t sell this guitar for weeks with the previous pickguard on it. After a quick revamp with this Decoboom American Professional Jazzmaster custom pickguard, the guitar sold within days and for more than what I was originally asking. It paid for itself! I will be back.

Customer photo review of Parchment/Black/Parchment - Jazzmaster Pickguard - 3-ply Vinyl

Jesse K.

Great pickguard! Fit perfectly on my Fender MIJ Traditional 60s Ocean Turquoise Jazzmaster. Color is (nearly if not) identical to Fender’s “parchment”. Custom ordered without holes for the main volume and tone controls and drilled those myself after figuring where I wanted them situated. Will likely order from Decoboom again next time I need a high-quality pickguard.

Brandon S.

DECOBOOM pickguards are inspiring. I’ve used a few on guitars and started to build guitars around the pickguard. This Tele with block inlay is a custom build I just completed that started with the pickguard. Thanks to Andrew for providing inspiration and a quality product.

Brandon G.

This pick guard absolutely exceeded my expectations. It looked great on the website, and even better in person. Extremely high quality, fit perfectly and they even perfectly modified it for me to ensure it’d fit my guitar specifically as they were sold out of the exact one I needed. Great customer service, fast shipping and a gorgeous product that genuinely made me pickup this guitar more often.

Decoboom has been my go-to for pickguards for all of my electric guitars over the last few years. The design on this Tele pickguard looks amazing, and the creme inlay compliments the woodgrain of my Spalted Maple Telecaster perfectly. The humbucker cutout is perfect for my Railhammer pickup, and I appreciate the attention to detail that every pickguard I've received has been given. Can't recommend Decoboom enough; to friends and folks on the internet alike. Every pickguard is a genuine work of a...

Looks awesome. Made of quality material. Only negatives were the holes for the pickup screws were a little bit off and it is a pain to get all the protective film off this particular design. Would buy again.

Perfect for a recent custom homebrew Tele. These DECOBOOM pick guards are just really high quality and add a unique look to guitars. I’ve got two of these guards right now and a third one on order for another build.

This is my second Purchase. The first one I messed up by ordering the wrong style, Andrew the owner personally emailed offering to have me send it back to fix it, but I “paid it forward” to a friend who could use that style. I love the look and ease of installation, it’s a perfect fit. Highly recommend these to anyone. I will definitely be grabbing more in the future.

Best replacement/alternate pickguards in the business. I had previously tried several similar shops when looking for alternate pickguards for my Johnny Marr Jaguar. Only the Decobooms fit, and none have needed any adjustment at all. Moreover, there are no gaps or visible imperfections anywhere. Maybe most importantly, Andrew provides above and beyond customer service. Looking forward to getting many more of these guards in the future!
