J-45 pickguard

By jjrpilot March 13, in Gibson Acoustic. I love this guitar but I'm not a fan of the how thick "flubber" the pickguard is. Do you all have any suggestions for a tortoise shell like, THIN pickguard that I could replace it with? That shouldn't be a difficult guard to get. I think I'm having him make a period correct one for my old Guild M I like the way he bevels and polishes his, and though not too thick, I dislike the paper thin ones typical of replacement guards. Another vote for Taylor Mullins. I had him make me a dark celluloid one to replace the flubber on my '16 J To do that for the long run, all you have to do is keep that original guard, and pass it on to the next owner with the guitar. Changing a pickguard is a reversible process involving no real modification of the guitar, particularly if the footprint of the new guard is identical to that of the original. You aren't going to de-value the guitar with this change. When you change out any original parts, keep them and pass them on with the guitar. Other classic examples are swapping out tuners, saddles, nuts, and bridgepins, provided they require no real modifications. Ill post a picture tonight. It actually was in a SJ guitar and case I bought new back in

Cleaned up the residual glue residue with Ronsonol, polished the surface up with Virtuoso, and installed the new J pickguard made by James Burkett of firestripepickguards.

Bear in mind, those celluloid pickguards could shrink a bit with time, sometimes resulting in the infamous pickguard crack, where the 'guard gets smaller, and would pull the grain of the top open. Col Mustard Posted March 16, I echo others when I say it looks great! Buc McMaster Posted March 15, I also eyeballed the model you have, but the pickguard was an immediate turn off. At the time, I wasn't crazy about the pickguard, but it was such a great sounding guitar and had the other features I wanted early 50s style headstock and chunky neck that I figured I'd get around to changing out the pickguard one day.
