Buy Shell Inlays & Sheets – The Duke of Pearl
Pickguard (discontinued): Donkey Ear Abalone (Haliotis asinina; Philippines). Made from our Thin Veneer Sheets but now discontinued, these are a spectacular accessory on an otherwise dull-looking or tasteful guitar, or a perfect compliment to an otherwise gaudy one. It's all in the beholder's eye, but we enjoyed making them and a lot of folks liked using them! Martin-style only, clear plastic coated on top, backed with black to intensify colors, with good quality double-stick adhesive on the back. Do not trim away the narrow clear plastic overhang around the edges, as this is intended to protect the edge from damage or delaminating.
