I would assume this has been addressed before, but I haven't found anything on topic. I recently purchased a (new) lefty Custom Shop 1960 Hummingbird. After roughly 4-6 weeks, the artwork on the pickguard is already starting to fade/get worn away. That's a little aggravating.
Is there a clear protector that can be placed on a Hummingbird pickguard? And if so, what are my chances of getting it in a left hand configuration?
When the time comes, will I be able to replace the original lefty pickguard, through the Custom Shop or some after-market source?
