Taylor Mullins at Holter Pickguards made me this for an LG2 American Eagle.

Just judging from the photos the workmanship looks very good, you say the price is fair so I see no problem with the purchase.

Wow, that is BEAUTIFUL 😮
It looks fantastic in the pics, I’ll definitely be in touch with him if I need guards! Would love to see it on the AE too.

Looks right on - something tells me the A Eagle is a keeper ^
Now comes the nervy part : to place it with precision. I'm sure you know the tape-hinges-trick.
Good luck - don't forget to post the result
There is an excellent guard-maker in southern Europe.
Been communicating back'n'forth with him and even got invited down there. A kind and highly well-crafted man
PM me or EA if needed.
Outside this tiny castle
parades a mighty guard
There is one on my guitar too
in case I punch it hard

And thanks Taylor Mullins...

That looks pretty good ! Nice placement. Any impact you can tell to the sound? Thats a lot of plastic.

None my brother. The guitar has a subdued mellow sound like old Dylan, or a Harmony even. The type of playing I do on it is never "driving the top". It is sweet and intimate, and I can't determine a sonic difference before and after. It just looks like I want it to.
I'll do a video later today (I am off work until tomorrow) comparing it to my J50.

Grunt - it is. With some minor contouring. We played with templates for J185s, B25s, and J50s. This is roughly a J50 shape where Taylor took care to get the outside contouring to match the LG2 curve at the waist.
