Matty_B Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Hi everyone. I have a 1940's era Recording King M-2 in desperate need of a new pick guard. This guitar spent many years in a carport storage closet before I inherited it and it's in remarkable condition considering its age and storage, except for the pick guard. I even have the original case! To me it seems to be very close to a Gibson L7guard, but I've been emailing back and forth with pickguardplanet.com and their replacement seems to be slightly larger than this one is. Does anyone know of a place I can find a replacement? Bonus if it happens to be tortoise shell like this one, but I'd settle for vintage black with the cream outline. I believe this one is celluloid with white-ish binding. It's ok if it's not identical, but I'd like something that'll fit without needing to be modified. I plan on hitting the metal and the pick guard hardware with some 0000 steel wool to shine it up. It plays nicely, but spends most of it's time hanging on the wall next to my 1955 Martin O-18. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Here’s a couple pictures of a ‘41 Regal Recording King I have and a pick guard close to what you’re looking for. I don’t remember where I got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
