That means I don't have it but I can probably still help you. You can either send me an original pick guard or a tracing to duplicate or you can provide a full scale drawing of your own unique design and I can work from that.
Please read this linked page about sending me things.

You can also download PDF outlines for each acoustic pick guard I offer, cut them out and place them on your guitar for a quick fit check. If one does not fit then you can modify it by either drawing the changes on it or cutting it to shape and submitting it as a mock up for me to work from.

There is a PDF outline link under every picture on the following page.

If the PDF outline is close but you want a different sound hole cut radius then there are options on the order page for you to indicate that you want a custom sound hole radius. A $5.00 additional fee will apply to any sound hole radius modification.

Any new templates that need to be created based off of originals, tracings, custom designs or modified PDF outlines will require a $10.00 template setup fee in addition to the pick guard price.

How to determine pick guard price.

Prices for all pick guards are based off of material selection.

Look at the materials drop down lists to determine price. Note that there are two drop down lists. One for Acoustic Materials which is the recommended choice and one for other materials. Other Materials being the thicker types of materials used for electric guitars and not really recommended for use on acoustics due to tone changes that may occur.

Each material in the list has a price indicated next to it which is the price for that pick guard in that material.

Common Question
What is the difference between these Acoustic Materials and Other Materials?

Answer
I call them Acoustic Materials because they are thinner than standard pick guard materials commonly used for electric guitars and basses.

Acoustic Guitar pick guard materials are generally thinner in the range of .020
to .060. The thicker and larger the pick guard is that you apply to your guitar will have more of an effect on the tone.

For example, if you have a very thin little pick guard and you want to replace it with a larger thicker pick guard you should expect to hear some difference in how the guitar sounds.

While it is not unheard of to use a .090 thicker electric guitar pick guard material, it is not considered an industry standard practice.

In addition, if you are adding a pick guard to an acoustic guitar that did not come with a pick guard then you should also expect a change in the tone of the guitar.

All acoustic pick guards come with adhesive backing for easy peel and stick installation.
