1 piece - 7” x 11" x .03” (178 mm x 280 mm x 0.75mm) medium sized sheet of thin translucent celluloid tortoise shell for guitar pickguards.

This is a very hard to find high-quality .03” thick (Gibson spec) 100% real translucent celluloid with the classic vintage red tortoise shell pattern seen on so many pre-1970 acoustic and electric guitars. Each sheet is enough material for two large pickguards like a Gibson J-50 or four small pickguards similar to a Martin D-18 or OM, or a Gibson J-45 or L-00.

Second picture shown is a scan of a sample 7” x 11” sheet. Tortoise shell pattern will vary from piece to piece.

Luthier quality material.Note: Both sides come with protective film so finish will be glossy. without requiring additional sanding or polishing..

This material also available in other thickness and sizes. Please see my other auctions.

Customer Feedback: Exactly as described! Nice and thick, like the vintage Gibson, Harmony, etc. I made 2 pickguards for old Harmonys; one large 'bat-wing', and one standard sized one for an H1260. Plenty of material left for a headstock overlay, or truss-rod covers.
