Hi... wow this is an amazing acoustic family... love especially the 12 string Guild... that's something on my wanna-have-list still... Greetings PIT...

Hi there... I have modified my Guitar-Rack and my family looks like this now... Greetings PIT...

Hi there... the pickguard still is firm to the guitar... ...I love my guitar... I have a made some vids with it... and I dare to post them here... ...far from perfect... http://youtu.be/a3_TQB1UGiU and have made some new pictures... LINK Have a wonderful weekend... :D Cheers PIT... :)

I see... oh I forgot to mention I removed the old glue-ply from the backside of the guard by simply rubbing it off with my fingers before putting the new one onto it... took a bit of patience but worked out pretty easily surprisingly... Greetings PIT...

yes ...and mine is a 2008 one, too... maybe it's a year they didn't do that well in general... ?

Hi... I contacted my dealer of course but he didn't come far as well... I know that Gibson makes two different types of PGs... but you won't get here in Germany none of them... I am shure mine is from Gibson, but it's the cheaper one without engraved flowers... however it looks like that the pattern is sealed because mini-scratches on the guard did not do any harm to them... However I wouldn't want to pay big money for a piece of plastic which did not stick to the guitar as it should have for the guitar's retail-price... If I'd not found this solution I'd have gone with a selfmade transparent pickguard... SORRY for the dust... should have wiped it before taking the pic... it's the flash to be blamed... Greetings PIT...

Hi there... I wanted to give some update on my SJ-200 and the pickguard issue... my die-hard internet search has dug out some stuff which I read is used by most of the guitar-manufacturers... it's called "3M 467 MP – 200MP ADHESIVE TRANSFER TAPE" made by the company 3M... ...got that from ebay... I covered the back of the pickguard, cut it out and put it on the guitar... it's now three days ago, it still is firm and I hope it stays like this... Gretings, PIT... :D

Hi... sorry for getting back late... yes, exactly that's how I did it... it was easy, because it was only really fixed in the middle area of the guard... I am disappointed of GIBSON in the regards of this issue !!!... The guitar was 2800 EURO overhere in Germany (somewhat 3800 US$)... and then they use this kind of crap for such great guitar... I even would buy one, but it looks impossible from here. I contacted my dealer as well, but he did not succeed as of yet now... I leave it off for the time being until I find a solution... Cheers PIT... :(

Hi there... I am interessted in this question as well... the pickguard on my SJ-200 slowly came off at various corners and will not stick to the guitars top anymore... I am diappointed ... the first time that I am not happy with quality of a Gibson guitar... I have removed it now entirely, which was not a big deal anymore... Thanks & Greetings PIT... :(

Thanks... actually you're right... historical correct would be Goldtop. This was a special run in 2007 named "Popular Demand Series" see attached pics... Cheers PIT...

man, this picture is awesome... Greetings PIT...

Hi Tim, you're welcome... Thanks, have a great Christmas time, too Greetings PIT...

Hi, I have no idea what brand knob this is... that was a knob I found in my "this & that" box with all kind of stuff in... it's some replacement knob I assume I bought here in Germany in an online shop... I am sorry I have no idea whether it would fit onto a Junior... I would think so... maybe you have to enlarge the hole of the knob a bit or squeeze the two bits on the axe of the pot a bit - very carefully. Greetings PIT...

great guitars... PIT... :)

GREAT collection... PIT...
