Mr B Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Q: Will the pickguard from a Casino fit on a standard Dot? What' I'm looking at is the pickguard on this guitar; http://cgi.ebay.com/Epiphone-ES-335-Electric-Guitar-Black_W0QQitemZ320351594975QQihZ011QQcategoryZ33037QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I like the shape of that better, and if it'll fit (even if I have to mod it a bit with a dremel/hand file) I'd like to swap one on my Dot. Of course, I'd need one in black, not white.... Thanks in advance! Brian
Ron G Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 No, it will not fit. Look at the size of the area above the neck pickup. I had a pickguard custom made for my Dot Studio - I sent a tracing to the maker for proper fit because there can even be minor differences in humbucker mounting rings. Mine is the short 335 style and I agree that it's better looking than the Epi Dot/Sheraton shape.

Looks like I'll be making a custom one myself... 5 ply (b/w/b/w/B) pickguard blanks don't run too much. And if I get amitious I can cut a matching 5 ply TRC. Thanks Ron. :D B.
