These pickguards are hand‑drawn, laser‑engraved, and precision‑cut, offering a premium aesthetic upgrade that stays true to the original Excellente spirit while adding a fresh, contemporary edge.

A Modern Take on a Legendary Epiphone Look

The Excellente’s eagle motif is one of the most recognizable designs in acoustic guitar history. Our solid black acrylic version reimagines that classic style with a grey engraved eagle, giving your guitar a bold, high‑contrast look that stands out under stage lights, studio lighting, or natural daylight.

The glossy black surface paired with deep laser‑etched artwork creates a three‑dimensional effect that printed pickguards simply can’t replicate.

Crafted by Hand, Perfected by Laser

Every pickguard begins with a human‑drawn design — not AI‑generated. The artwork is then laser‑engraved and etched using high‑precision laser equipment, giving each line sharp definition and consistent depth.

Key Craft Features

  • Human‑Designed Artwork — Image is designed by hand for authenticity.
  • Laser‑Engraved Detail — Crisp, deep lines with a dimensional finish.
  • Laser‑Cut Edges — Perfectly smooth contours for a factory‑clean fit.
  • Premium Solid Acrylic — Durable, lightweight, and resistant to scratches and wear.

Glossy Black Finish With 3D Engraving

Solid black acrylic offers a sleek, modern look that pairs beautifully with the FT‑120’s natural top. The glossy surface reflects light, while the engraved eagle design adds depth and texture.

This combination creates a high‑impact visual upgrade that feels both vintage‑inspired and contemporary.

Protection Meets Style

Beyond aesthetics, these pickguards provide real protection. The acrylic material shields your guitar’s top from pick wear, scratches, and everyday playing damage — all while enhancing the guitar’s visual identity.

With 3M peel‑and‑stick adhesive backing, installation is fast, secure, and clean. No tools. No mess.
