      DESCRIPTION

      The Custom Esquire Telecaster Pickguard from our Artisan Series delivers a sleek, high-tech edge to your single-pickup workhorse. Designed without a neck pickup cutout for authentic Esquire bodies, this guard features our specialized micro-textured surface that transforms Gun Metal Gray into a non-reflective, satin-industrial finish. It's not glossy, not flashy—just precision tooling in visual form, giving your Esquire a modern "stealth" aesthetic that commands respect without saying a word.

      Engineered and finished in-house at Ploutone, this Esquire-specific pickguard is precision-modeled for a flawless 8-hole Telecaster fit. The Gun Metal Gray colorway is exceptionally versatile: it provides subtle, tonal depth on Black or Silver guitars, a sharp professional counterpoint to Fiesta Red or Lake Placid Blue, and an understated factory-custom look on Butterscotch Blonde or Natural Ash bodies.

      Artisan Series

      The Artisan Series is where industrial precision meets visual restraint. This collection celebrates unique textures, bio-based materials, and in-house 3D-crafted manufacturing. Every piece is designed to transform your Esquire into a one-of-a-kind instrument—not through ornamentation, but through purposeful, technical design. If you believe your guitar should look as sharp as it plays, you've found your series.

      Includes Custom Esquire pickguard only (no neck pickup hole).

      Please refer to the second image for exact Esquire-specific dimensions. Verify your body's 8-hole pattern and routing before purchasing.

      Features

      • Esquire-Specific Layout: Precision-cut without a neck pickup opening—engineered exclusively for standard single-pickup Esquire bodies.
      • Industrial Stealth Finish: A specialized micro-texture that creates a non-reflective, bead-blasted metal aesthetic—no gloss, no distraction.
      • Photo-Ready Anti-Glare: The textured surface diffuses stage and studio lighting, ensuring your Esquire looks great under bright lights and in every shot.
      • Smudge & Swirl Resistance: Naturally hides fingerprints, smudges, and pick scratches better than any standard glossy guard.
      • Advanced Bio-Polymers: Crafted from durable, renewable materials with high structural integrity and heat resistance.
      • Direct 8-Hole Fit: Matches standard Telecaster/Esquire 8-hole mounting pattern for a straightforward, no-mod installation.

      About Our In-House Made Gear

      This Esquire pickguard is part of our exclusive in-house made collection—crafted by us, for players who refuse the ordinary. From hard-to-find retrofit parts to premium artisan accessories, every piece reflects our commitment to innovation, honesty, and quality. Whether you're restoring a vintage Esquire or building your dream partscaster, you won't find these textures or colorways anywhere else. Just clean, purposeful design—done right.

      CRAFTSMANSHIP & MATERIALS
      After five years of experimenting and perfecting our craft, we've developed a meticulous approach to creating boutique guitar accessories that deserve a place on your prized instruments. Our renewable bioplastics form the foundation of most components, offering both environmental responsibility and exceptional performance. For our signature picks, we've formulated a proprietary composite that delivers the perfect balance of flexibility, durability, and tonal clarity.

      Each piece is carefully handcrafted or produced in small batches to ensure consistent quality and attention to detail. We believe that advanced materials deserve advanced craftsmanship—that's why every item undergoes rigorous quality control before it reaches your hands. These aren't mass-produced parts; they're boutique creations designed to match the care and passion you put into your music.
      WHERE ART MEETS FUNCTION
      Let's be honest—most guitar gear looks like it rolled off the same assembly line. We're here to change that. Our mission is simple: provide guitarists with accessories that are as visually unique as the sounds they create. Why should your gear be mundane when your music isn't?

      Through years of collaboration with boutique makers across the industry, I've learned what discerning players really want: products that combine striking aesthetics with uncompromising quality.

      Our pieces aren't just functional—they're conversation starters, visual expressions of your individual style. When you install one of our custom pickup covers or truss rod covers, you're making a statement that your instrument is as unique as your musical voice.
      Our Artistic Vision, Realized

      At Ploutone, we've moved beyond simply curating exceptional guitars and gear—we've become creators ourselves. Each piece we craft in-house represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of guitar craftsmanship, developing unique materials and designs you won't find anywhere else. When you choose our handcrafted creations, you're not just upgrading your guitar—you're becoming part of our artistic journey to elevate the guitar playing experience.
