Ian_inaz Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Why is it so difficult to get a new ES335 style pickguard, yet so easy to acquire one for a Les paul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_inaz Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 M-E Thanks for your reply. I doubt any of these are the same as the version on a Gibson bought 335. I have bought bought a few from different sources and the difference with the original I think is in the bevel cut angle. The original shows a lot more white. I was just wondering if anyone knew why Gibson didnt sell these as they sell Les paul versions. The best one I've found is from Montreaux guitar parts, but for a piece of plastic its expensive!

Hi Ian, A Gibson ES-335 remains the same whether you bought it from Gibson or a dealer. info now supplementing your OP: 1/ You have several pickguards now. 2/ You apparently want to buy one from Gibson. I suggest you contact Gibson direct to ask this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
