I want to buy replacement pickguard for my SG Special 1997 with humbuckers ,because original one is cracked and I also want to change truss rod cover to black one.
Does anyone have idea where to buy one. Please consider that I`m from Europe and I`m having problems where to find exact match for reasonable price.:2zone

I will rephrase my question: will WD music pickguard for SG Standard fit on
my SG Special?

I would be very careful about that.

A few years ago I bought a pickguard from WD that was supposed to fit an SG Standard.

However, it was cut for an ABR bridge, and would not go over the Nashville threaded inserts.

At the time, the website did not say this, and I had to send it back.

I just looked on the WD website, and here is it what it says:

Gibson® SG Standard (Full Face)
Please note that this pickguard will only fit genuine Gibson® SG "late" '60's models. This pickguard will not fit Epiphone® SG. If you don’t see what you are looking for please call 800-449-9348 ext. 112 or email custompickguards@wdmusic.com


It will not fit your Special with a Nashville bridge.

I sent them the pickguard from my 2003 Special, and they made one that fit right, so they should have the template for it.

Call them or contact Pickguardian.

There are some on ebay that look like they might fit a Special, but you'll have to check them out.
