philfish Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hello folks great form, been lurking awhile. I want to thank Lars for his post of his new pick guard that he got from http://www.firestripepickguards.com/ When I saw his pick guard I said WOW. I had been looking for a replacement guard for my j45TV, So I contacted Fire stripe. Great guy to deal with, and got one, here it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Nice! Looks much better than the firestripe guards that Gibson is using. I've been looking for someone with a stash of real firestripe celluloid, but it is hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to a video for removing a modern pick guard with the transfer adhesive like that sold by LMI and Stew Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfish Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Wily it's a thicker guard with the polished beveled type edge. Feels nice when I play, I play with my fingers and rest my pinky on it. I removed the old guard with the hair dryer method and a plastic putty knife that has a sharp edge. That I bought at local hardware store. Cleaned glue residue with naptha. Installed the new guard with the tape hinge method. James Guitarjtb sends his guards with adhesive. Thank's to James for the guard, Check out his site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
