smurfco Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi everyone, Just picked up a 2015 Elitist Casino and it's a beauty. But I prefer the look of the foil "e" like on the older Casinos (and the Lennon models). Is there anywhere to get a pickguard to fit my Elitist that has the foil "e"? I'd prefer a genuine Epiphone guard (maybe a spare from an IBJL?) but a reproduction would probably work too. Let me know - thank you! -smurfco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 If you don't find the PG you're looking for....... You can have an "e" made at any sign shop. From a photo, with a couple of dimensions, they can CNC cut a piece of metallic adhesive backed sign vinyl. Peel & Stick and your good to go.

kidblast Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Have you tried looking on eBay? I'm am almost positive my buddy bought a 333 PRO that didn't have the "e" and he found one on eBay for short change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed2 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Axtreme Creations has the chrome Es, though they aren't cheap. I've had around 60 made to Epi spec, over the last several years but I'm out of the chrome ones (a local restoration shop bought all of my most recent batch). I do have a dozen or so of the gold ones, that work well if you have gold hardware or a natural guitar. As for pick guards, I've had really good luck with Terrapin. especially while John was still alive. Things were a little spotty during the transition to Mary, his wife running the business,, but they've pulled it around and I still think that they are the best for custom pick guards. I like how you can do a 100% scale print out of the patterns that they have , to see what fits perfectly ( believe it or not, not all Epi model pick guards are the same, especially the Casinos).

smurfco Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Thanks, everyone. Believe it or not, I lucked out and found someone on Craigslist (in Dallas, TX of all places) selling a pickguard with a foil e from a Lennon Casino that he's kind enough to sell and mail to me here in Connecticut. I hope it fits - I think that it will - but it was cheap enough to be worth the risk. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
