OK for all you guys that said that I had the guitar in the water or something and that's what caused the corrosion you know that's a crock of ****. Of the three honest commenters acknowledge now is that this is a problem. Why can't Gibson the manufacture make a Pick guard plastic that doesn't do that !!there are other plastics that they can use.!!! At a minimum GIbson should replace all the parts and the pick guard if this does happen..

I am really pissed off due to the issue of pickguard disintegration for archtop gibsons in my possession that have been in storage and I open the case and the gold hardware is corroding and the pickguard is turning into plasic soup. I have had to take off the pickguards on a 70's l5 a 70's super 400 and now a recently bought 2006 L4 that was a NAMM show guitar that is showing corrosion. WTF! I have put in a contact to Gibson. Cant they design the plastic so it does not do this??????http://www.es-335.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/offgassing.jpg This is not my guitar but what would happen if I did nothing.
