Titanism Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I really want to make my Explorer Pro look cool, so I decided to buy a black pickguard. Do you know how to buy it online and can do worldwide shipping? Because i live in Indonesia. PS. I don't mind with the used version as long as it fit and proper to be used.

ne14t? Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Does the Explorer Pro have the required holes for a pickguard? I have never had one in my hands so I am not sure; however if you have a pickup selector on the bottom horn of your Explorer it will probably take the same pick guard as the 76 reissues. I know there was webpage I ran across once that was selling them, sadly I dont remember the link but I do remember all they had was a shiny chrome one, I ended up making my pick guard, was easier and cost like $10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibSinCity Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The Explorer Pro does not come from the factory with a pickguard, so no holes. Also, the Explorer Pro is about 15% to 20% smaller than a regular Explorer, so an aftermarket Explorer gaurd probably won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, there is a pickup selector...but i don't think the 76 reissues will fit because the Pro has smaller body than the common Explorer. Well, but thanks for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i wanna do it, the worst case is i have to make my own hole...and i don't want to make any damage on the Pro. Yes, once again you're right. An used pick guard won't work. I was wondering there are somebody selling it for the Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydra26 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yes, it doesn't have any holes.

I was wondering there are somebody selling it for the Pro. In addition to not having holes and the body being the wrong size, since it's not designed to take a pickguard, You will either need to replace the toggle switch with a longer one or cut the hole in the top of the body larger to push the toggle switch through. I couldn't even get a toggle washer (like on a les paul) to fit and still thread the nut back onto the toggle. Pickguards will be thicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
