raymeedc Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'd like to replace my warped white original pickguard with a new parchment colored copy. I haven't yet, though, found anyone that makes replacement pickguards for early Casino/ES330 single pickup models. If anyone knows of such a source, I would appreciate the heads up..... Thanks.

tweed2 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Check in with Terrapin. He has several Casino versions. He's made three different guards for me. You can download a template to see how they fit. On my last Casino guard, I just sent him my original and he made an exact copy (except I wanted to use a Gibson 330 bracket, with no hole). Got them both back in pretty good time. How about a picture of your git? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweed2 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Terrapin is out of Oregon. John's a great guy, very patient and helpful. Here's the website. http://www.terrapinguitars.com/ By the way, welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to upload photos. Attachment feature tells me my quota is practically up ( used 411.84k of 500k..... as I have never uploaded anything on this site, I don't know what they mean ) & my individual max size quota is 88.16k, which renders my photos too small to see.

My link I followed instructions for Photobucket, but when I completed all of the tasks & previewed my post on this site, a message came up informing me that the image extension on my photos are not acceptable..... what? The following are the URLs to my rejected photos.....can somebody help? http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/raymeedc/epi61a_edited-2.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/raymeedc/epibacka_edited-1.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/raymeedc/epi613b_edited-1.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/raymeedc/epiback613b_edited-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaSTuS Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 THANKS, but what did I do wrong? When writing/editing the post there's a smiley icon in the toolbar of the editor, the next icon is to insert links, then the next one is for inserting images, click on it and paste the link into it. You have to do that for each picture, you can have 8 pictures per post (from memory). BTW: lovely Cassy you've got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, she's a beaut..... & plays even better than she looks! Got her from a woman who had inherited it from her father 25 years ago, spending it's days since languishing in her closet. He had, however, evidently played it extensively enough during it's previous 25 years of existence to result in a butter smooth, beautifully broken in feel/sound, just short of fretware.

raymeedc Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 P.S. - I don't know how this will appear on different monitors, but this is not Cherry Sunburst, which wasn't offered this early on in this model's run, it's their Royal Tan.

Whatever the color, it's beautiful. Congrats. I had one very similar to yours for about a year and had to sell it to finance another purchase. If I had a do-over, I would not have parted with it. Great feeling, playing, sounding guitar. Don't make the mistake - hang onto yours. Hope you enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweed2 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Love the guitar, she's a beauty. I really like the low-keyed birds eye in the front. You're right, the white guard looks wrong on it. Cream or parchment. Or maybe even tortoise. Update your photos when you get the new guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After making that mistake twice with this series ('62 ES-330TD & '60 ES-330T) in the distant past, I'm determined not to be a repeat offender.
