330 Pickguard

[guitarmory]

Does anyone know where I can find an original '60s wide bevel 330 pickguard? These things seem impossible to find!

The guy gets rare parts like that; maybe you should send him an email.

And of course Ebay. Also you can set up a Google automatic alert based on your description for whenever something pops up; rather than having to do a manual search.

Is it possible that a two pup guard from a late 50's ES 225 would fit?

Ya, I've scoured the parts guy's sites and I've been watching ebay for months now with no luck... oh well, I guess I'll just keep looking. Thanks for the suggestions.

I had that thought, not sure. I'd kinda just like to get the right one for the guitar if you know what I mean. I was gonna get a nice repro made but I knew that though it would look the part it would bug me every time I looked at it.

I got a really nice repro 330 pg from Parts is Parts. It had a nice bevel and fit perfectly. It was under $30. I did a little relicing on it and it looked great...might do until the real thing comes along.

I saw that one and it looked pretty good. Do you have a pic of it on your guitar?

No, I sold the guitar a while back. I was very happy with it for the money when I got it though.
