Callaham Bakelite Tele Pick Guard

Item number: CA32006

Callaham does it again, this is the "best" Bakelite Tele pick guard that we have seen.  The problem with Bakelite is that it is not plastic but compressed black fibreboard and so the finish is really not great.  The only way to get a polished finish back in the day was to spray it with lacquer and hand polish it and that is exactly what Callham do and as far as we know there is no one else doing it.

It is very hard to show a black mirror finish in a photo so we have placed a couple of Tele knobs on top so you can see the reflection.

Callaham also replicate the 5" diameter circle on the back, not that anyone will see it but just because and of course it is drilled to the original 5 hole pattern.

Just makes you want to built a Butterscotch Tele.
