If you've browsed the entire Afterman Guitars website, you've seen all the different products available to update, upgrade and customize your favorite instruments.

But what if you need something else that nobody seems to offer?

Most pickguard makers charge an arm and a leg, sometimes $60 to $80 for a faithful reproduction of your pickguard, even after you supply them with the original or a tracing.

At Afterman Guitars, the Custom Shop works a little differently than other pickguard makers, so allow me to drop the professional lingo for a minute.

I'm a dad, who works from home, starting a small business, who has a passion for music, and a VERY deep understanding of what it's like to be a struggling artist. After all, the music industry is tough and it doesn't pay much. I want to help you, if you're willing to help me.

So here's how this works: I'm still going to need to borrow your ORIGINAL pickguard you want replicated, BUT you will get it back once it's been cloned, AND I'm not going to charge a ridiculous amount of money to replicate your pickguard. It's just going to be the normal price of any other customizable pickguard offered in this store. 

The reason I DON'T charge a ton is because by trusting one another in this process, you're helping me build my inventory and what I can offer to other customers, and that, my friends, is a collaborative effort.

I look forward to making you something new, and I thank you for your contribution to what I will later offer to future customers.
