{"product_id":"lp-junior-pickguard-black-pearl-shell","title":"Gibson Les Paul Junior Pickguard (Single Cut)  - 4-Ply Black \u0026 White Shell","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack pearl shell is built from natural shell material rather than standard plastic laminate, and the difference shows in how the surface behaves under light. The base is deep and dark, but the shell grain runs through it in organic veins of iridescence that shift between black, midnight blue, and silver depending on the viewing angle and light source. Every panel cuts from the shell slightly differently, so no two guards carry the exact same pattern. This is the kind of finish that gets noticed up close, where the depth and movement of the material reveal themselves, rather than reading as a simple color choice from a distance. Against lighter guitar finishes the contrast is dramatic; against dark tops the guard becomes a study in depth and texture.\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 Pearl shell laminate — natural iridescent shell with color shift depending on angle and light.\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":46469446926472,"sku":"LPJ-SHELL-BLKPRL","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/5003\/2520\/files\/Se8403c4a1b3b437586953c8fc7066382a_9244d065-f79e-4a3a-8c57-a32287e3fb30.webp?v=1788753329","url":"https:\/\/ploutone.com\/products\/lp-junior-pickguard-black-pearl-shell","provider":"Ploutone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
