JammyDodger Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hey All, I have recently bought a Broadway but it did not have a pickguard. I have found a source who will make a nice Tortoise shell guard for me. I need to find the attachment hardware. This would be the angled bracket, stand-off and screws (in Gold, of course). Any suggestions on where I could find this? I've tried eBay but I am concerned about the dimensions. Any sources? Best Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Rocker 59 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 www.stewmac.com They are the best source for replacement parts . The only drawback is, you have to spend $35.00 or more. Of course you could always try E-Bay . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While my experience with working with guitars is quite very limited, I was in a similar situation like yours just very recently. And you are right to be concerned about dimensions. You see I just purchased an Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Tribute Plus. And LP Tributes don't come with pickguards. I thought since its a Les Paul, an original Gibson Les Paul replacement pickguard and bracket should work on an Epiphone Les Paul, right? I was dead wrong! I tried another website with a huge selection of Epiphone Les Paul pickguards, and again the pickguard was not a perfect match and fit, and besides the quality was much to be desired. Frustrated, I emailed Mr. Rame Eskridge of Gibson Warranty Department and asked for help. He emailed me back the part number of the pickguard that I needed for my Epiphone. Sweetwater.com then special-ordered it for me for $15.99 including S/H. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JammyDodger Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hey All, I looked at the guitar parts resource model AP-0628-002. It looks right but I'm not sure if it is right dimensionally. I guess an email to them is worth a try. best Regards, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
