LBuck Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 So I recently picked up the 2017 limited SG Custom and I was considering putting on a tortoise shell guard on it, similar to a Lucille aesthetic. Im wondering if anyone would know what style pickguard was used for this model. It looks and feels similar to a 61' but I don't actually own one to compare. Thanks for the consideration.

Sgt. Pepper Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) This one I guess. I think most refer to it as the Batwing. All my SG's had the one's that go around both pickups. I'm sure there are lots of places to find it on line. https://www.ebay.com/itm/383765606864?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28 Edited May 25, 2022 by Sgt.

kidblast Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Sarge, actually the bat wing one is the larger one that covers both sides of the strings. The smaller one like in the photo is usually just referred to as a '61 style LBUCK, the link in Sarge's post and the one below is what you're looking for: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BLHRQSM/ref=twister_B08BLHWKXY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Edited May 26, 2022 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two SGs with the larger pickguards, I'd rather they were set with the '61 style personally. Way too much plastic on those IMHO. But I dig SGs so,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
