Replacement pickguard for a tennessean

[BIGROB69]

Just wondering if anyone out there knows where I could get a replacement pickguard for a Gretsch Tennessean? I saw one or two but for some crazy amount like $200!! Even a repro would suit me fine at this point.

Thank you for your help with this task...

There is a Gretsch-Talk member named Paul Setzer (not related to Brian) who has a sign making shop and reproduces Gretsch pickguards, precisely. You can Private Message him a request.

There are also a couple re-sellers who specialize in authentic Gretsch parts:

• Blackrider Vintage Guitars
• Darren Riley's Guitar & Amp Shop

+1 for Setzer. He'll be cheaper too.

Try Pickguard Heaven. They can make anything you trace on a piece of paper. The one for my Tele ran me $50.

I’m bumping this 11-year-old thread because I just got a 1963 Tennessean that has a not-quite-right later replacement pickguard and if I can get something that looks more correct at a reasonable price I’d like to do so. The links above that still work don’t currently have one. Anyone dealt with this more recently?

That's where I found a black guard and rings for my T-Rose. Good stuff.
