Next Gen Parts 1-Ply Black-Gloss Pickguard Blank — 11.5 × 17 in

Best for

Custom guitar or bass pickguard or cavity-cover fabrication where a one-ply black-gloss look and a minimum 11.5 × 17-inch sheet cover the verified template.

Who should skip

Skip it when a ready-to-install pickguard is required, the template exceeds usable area, a matte or layered finish is needed, or suitable fabrication tools and skills are unavailable.

Watchouts

The exact product is one-ply Black Glossy. Retailer SKU NG-GPPM-2456-BK is not a manufacturer MPN, X-17 is invalid, and no GTIN is published. The current exact listing says 11.5 inches minimum width, not the stale 12-inch value.

Likely add-ons

• verified full-size pickguard template
• precision measuring and marking tools
• appropriate saw/router/drill/countersink/bevel and deburring tools
• eye, hearing and dust protection
• qualified fabricator when safe pickguard work is unavailable

Verify before buying

• Does the verified full-size template fit within the measured usable area?
• Is a one-ply Black Glossy finish intended?
• Is nominal 0.080-inch thickness appropriate for the instrument and hardware?
• Where are every screw and component opening located?
• Who will perform safe cutting, drilling, beveling and final fit work?
