JammyDodger Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hi All, I have recently bought a beautiful Epiphone Broadway. The did not come with a pickguard and I would like to find one. Can anyone tell me if the Broadway pickguard is unique or is it the same as the Joe Pass / emperor or the 175? Where would be a good place to order one?

JammyDodger Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks, I have sent them an email. Does anyone know if the Broadway pickguard is the same as the Joe Pass? Also, I will need hardware with it. Thanks, Miek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed2 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Try these guys for brackets and screws. Not positive, but I believe it's the 0628-002, it look s a lot like that anyway. Somebody else asked this same question, not too long ago, you might do a search in the Forums (upper right hand corner, above). Gretsch uses a similar double-bend bracket that might work. http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/hardware_bracket.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JammyDodger Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 No luck so far. I've tried a couple of pickguard makers and no one has a template. Best Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed2 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Well, there are several Broadway owners here. I wonder if one of them couldn't do a tracing for the template? Terrapin has done guards for me from tracings. Parabar, didn't you do a tracing a while ago? Another thought would be to find a template from Terrapin that is the shape you want and print it out. You can adjust the pickup cut outs to fit your guitar (they may slightly vary, from year to year anyway), then send it in. I did that for an Ibanez AS80 (which he also didn't have) and it turned out great. Don't give up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's closer to the shape of a Sheraton pickguard, but I believe the pickup spacing is different due to the Broadway's longer scale. I do have a tracing available --- I'll be happy to e-mail it to anyone who wants one. Just send me a PM with the e-mail address of where you'd like me to send it, and it's yours!

Roosto7 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Paul Setzer at Setzer Signs is the guy you want. He is considered a God amongst the Gretsch guitar people. He will do anything you want in the way of pickguards. Paul cuts his own pickguards, he doesn't just use blanks. setzersigns@yahoo.com Here are examples of Paul's work- http://s99.photobucket.com/user/setzersigns/library/#/user/setzersigns/library/?page=1&_suid=1365522797520010921252463122138 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
