McCarty Pickup Pickguard

Modeled after the vintage McCarty Pickup Pickguard combo, I've made some adjustments for both performance and affordability. The 5-ply black/white material sports a vintage wide beveled edge and was made using an original McCarty guard to make a template. However, I adjusted the shape of the guard at the top of the pickup "wing" where it meets the body. I tightened the corner radius to better fit around the end of the fretboard, tighter than was possible with the original design. I've also replaced the original's proprietary output jack with a 1/4" jack so you can use a normal guitar cable. One volume, one tone, and an alnico V wide single coil pickup. Attach to your pickguard bracket, adjust the height of the lower bracket and top mount, and plug it in! Instantly electrify your acoustic archtop. No wiring required, though a simple ground wire to the tailpiece will alleviate what's left of the 60 cycle hum if you desire.   I ship my guards undrilled to match all applications. Minimum s
