Telecaster Pickguard

-  The pickguard on a Telecaster is an essential part of the Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, serving both a practical
    and aesthetic purpose. Its main function is to protect the guitar's finish from scratches caused by picks or 
    fingernails during play. In addition, depending on the model, it serves as a mounting point for pickups, electronic
    components, and controls such as potentiometers and switches.
