Replacement pickguard for Sterling StingRay Short Scale Bass SS - MANY COLORS!

PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING OR MESSAGING:  Pickguard listings generally have a ten business day lead time. If you cannot wait about three weeks (accounting for shipping time) to have your custom pickguard in your hands, please don't order.

We do not ship internationally.

You will receive an email notification and tracking number when the pickguard is shipped (unless you have your Reverb account set up so it doesn't message you with updates). Either way the tracking number will show in the pickguard order details. If you don't see a tracking number, it hasn't been shipped. 

If you're thinking of ordering this for an instrument you do not have yet, or just received, wait until you know you're keeping it before ordering the pickguard.

Here's a list of our current lineup of colors and materials:

We have several different tortoise materials and patterns ranging from "budget" printed pattern material to expensive all celluloid sheets. Due to supply issues you should always check to see if the tortoise you want is in stock before ordering.

TBP.  "Budget" brown tortoise. This is a printed pattern material with little visual depth, similar to the brown tortoise seen on many import guitars.
TEB.  All celluloid 4 ply brown tortoise, the most expensive material.
TRP.  A printed pattern 3 ply red tortoise with some visual depth that is more expensive.
TAB.  A thicker brown cast acrylic tortoise with a spotted "Dalmation" pattern that goes through the entire depth of the sheet.
TAG.  A thicker green cast acrylic tortoise with a spotted "Dalmation" pattern that goes through the entire depth of the sheet.
TAP.  A thicker pinkish/raspberry colored cast acrylic tortoise with a spotted "Dalmation" pattern that goes through the entire depth of the sheet.
