Founder

Chandler Industries

Paul Chandler discovered a specialized market within the music industry as a result of being a rock and roll performer and loving vintage guitars. Over the years, Paul found that he had to replace vintage-style pickguards due to the composition of the materials used back in the 1930s and 40s. As a result he made his own and then, some for friends. Before he knew it, Paul was in business re-creating pickguards and other parts for nearly every brand of guitar. As the business grew, Paul offered other products relating to vintage guitars and parts and over time, became one of our industry’s leading experts on the subject.
