frenchie1281734003 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Help required guys, I have lost the pickguard bracket on my Elitist Casino and need a replacement. I'm looking for the correct Nickel item which has the double bend, and not the "Les Paul" type which has the one 90 degree bend. Does anyone know of a source for these? Thanks in advance, Steve.

Sleeko Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Sure, just go up on eBay and type in pick guard bracket. You'll see chrome, gold or whatever. The Allparts ones are nice quality . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie1281734003 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks for the reply sleek, but the Allparts brackets are the wrong type, and meant for deep bodied hollow bodies. I need the one that comes on the Elitist Casino, and AIUSA John Lennon models. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny but I just saw a picture of the USA John Lennon models from a 1999 catalog and the bracket looks like the 90 degree model. Strange, did they go back and forth on this design? I never really noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Have you tried Gibson/Epiphone CS? I've had good luck, with replacement parts, from them, when needed. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobouz Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Don't know if they still stock parts for Elitists in Nashville, but they did at one time. Back in 2009 when I bought my Elitist Casino, I contacted customer service re pickup covers that had somehow become tarnished by the peel-off plastic protectors. I asked if they could send me new covers, and they sent me a new set of pickups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster1 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I agree with Epi C/S. In my experiences with them they have taken care of my issues/needs quickly & completely. Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
