Rino Valente Is a very well know tattoo artist, painter, engraver and leather craftsman, from the hills of Tuscany near Florence.

We have three beautiful unique and one off exemplars of classic Telecaster pickguards, that would transform any classic Telecaster into a true piece of art, and a custom instrument.

Hand crafted from premium 3mm Tuscan cowhide, hand tooled, hand painted, and finished with unique traditional skills. These guards will age beautifully, the leather will develop fades and amazing patina, bending and moulding with time.

These amazing guards are made from very high quality leather, completely hand cut, due to the organic nature of the hide, it might needs slight adjustments to fit around hardware of different telecasters. we can fit the guards in house, for any small adjustment needed, and drilling at he right alignment of the screw holes.
