I'm fixing a 2005 Gibson SG standard (I think the stack may have fallen on it... the case is lunched!)
I need to buy or make a new pickguard for it, (it's the 'full-face' type). I've found a supplier in America, but I need to know if/what variations there might be in the shape and screwhole positions. The vendor reckons the ones they sell fit late 60's models... Anyone have any info on this?
Cheers.

SG Pickguard info needed
Re: SG Pickguard info needed
I'm definitely no Fender or Gibson expert, as I generally deal with more modern style brands, however I can assure you that there anre many variations of the pickguards etc on all those guitars, so you really need to be careful whicon ones you buy.
Screw holes, pickup position and configuration differences. Really pay close attention to the one you have before ordering the new one.
You can buy genuine replacements, but expect to pay through the nose.
All parts normally have good quality parts:

Or you can try ebay and take your chances

Well buddy, try to get a genuine Gibson SG pickguard. They don't list a replacement part... and even if they did it would cost an outrageous fortune!
I'm aware of the possible variations/accuracy issues, that's why I posted, -hoping someone might have encountered this so I can suck their experience!
