Using this Waylon Jennings Leather Pickguard is a breeze. First, gently remove your existing pickguard from your Tele guitar. Then, line up the pre - drilled 5 - hole cuts of the new pickguard with the corresponding holes on your guitar. Use the appropriate screws to attach it firmly. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from extreme heat and moisture. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the embossed leather. If you notice any signs of wear over time, don't worry. With proper care, this pickguard will last you a long time and keep your guitar looking stylish.
