{"product_id":"lp-junior-pickguard-4ply-brown-tortoise","title":"Gibson Les Paul Junior Pickguard (Single Cut)  - 4-Ply Brown Tortoise","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrown tortoise is one of the oldest pickguard finishes in guitar history, and for good reason: the organic swirl of amber, honey, and dark brown reads as a natural material even though it is a laminate, giving the guard a warmth that complements almost every traditional guitar finish. Each piece carries its own pattern distribution, so no two guards are identical. The four-ply construction deepens the visual effect by adding layers beneath the surface pattern, and the bevel stripe at the edge completes the look with a period-correct detail. It sits particularly well on natural and sunburst tops, where the warm tones in the tortoise echo the wood beneath without clashing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e This pickguard is designed for select Gibson Les Paul Junior Single Cut models using the older pickguard pattern. Gibson changed the body shape and mounting-hole locations over different production periods, so this pickguard does not fit every Les Paul Junior. The supplier has confirmed that it does not fit the 2000 Gibson Les Paul Junior.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease compare the dimensions and mounting-hole positions shown in the photos with your guitar before purchasing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not rely on the guitar’s model name or year alone. Fit must be confirmed by comparing the outline and hole locations. This pickguard is not intended for Les Paul Junior Double Cut, Les Paul Special, SG, Epiphone, or other non-matching models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-ply construction — four-layer laminate with contrasting bevel stripe at the edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Routing:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — solid scratch plate with three mounting-hole cutouts only; no pickup cavity, control-knob holes, or switching cutouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes 3 mounting screws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes pickguard and 3 mounting screws.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ploutone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46469444075656,"sku":"LPJ-4PLY-BRNTRT","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/5003\/2520\/files\/HTB1VvfDVRLoK1RjSZFuq6xn0XXau_2e36b7b7-404e-4b07-802c-7a14f1cdb03e.webp?v=1788753339","url":"https:\/\/ploutone.com\/de\/products\/lp-junior-pickguard-4ply-brown-tortoise","provider":"Ploutone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
