Thread: Northfield pickgaurd

    Default Northfield pickgaurd

    Hello I am looking for a pickgaurd for my 2011 Big Mon. I've not been able to get one through Northfield because they aren't made the same now on top of new bindings don't color match the aged ones on my used mandolin. Just curious if anyone has one out there from a similar model they don't use or want that I could buy. Thanks!

    Northfield can make you a guard in straight ebony, without binding. That might be the simplest option. But even if they had the same binding, NF uses NC lacquer to finish pickguards, while the older big mons were French polish varnish... so they will never be exactly the same color. You could ask them to make you a pickguard and not finish it... then you could French polish it yourself to match your big mon.
