The Custom Esquire Telecaster Pickguard from our Artisan Series brings a quiet, commanding presence 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 Olive Drab into a matte, non-reflective finish. This isn't tactical cosplay—it's utilitarian elegance: purposeful, understated, and distinctly modern.
Engineered and finished in-house at Ploutone, this Esquire-specific pickguard is precision-modeled for a flawless 8-hole Telecaster fit. The Olive Drab Green colorway speaks directly to players who favor earth-tone aesthetics and restrained, military-inspired styling. It delivers a rugged, cohesive look on Natural Ash or Vintage Blonde bodies, and an unexpectedly sophisticated contrast when paired with Black or Lake Placid Blue finishes.

If you believe your guitar should feel as intentional as it sounds, 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.
