Hi Guys,
I've got a lead on a 1961 Les Paul Junior (SG body)
The owner bought it in 1968 and threw the warped pickguard away in 1970.
Who do you recommend that sells an authentic replacement pickguard? It has 8 holes. Also, the screws are missing.
Thanks! :peace2

MojoAxe is your guy!

He made one for my '63 (7 hole) and '64 (8 hole) and they're perfect. Right material. right bevel, perfect aging. Well worth every penny. I've had maybe half a dozen guards made by them.

I think some came with 7 holes and others with 8 in 1961. I may have even seen some 62's with 7 holes as well. Maybe they just grabbed what was in the box? :laugh2:

He also did this WONDERFUL reproduction signature Long-guard for the Black Widow! That signature is cut right in.
Sorry for the craptastic pic...

Renderit, that is a spectacular guitar. A Standard with gold hardware and wraparound tailpiece! Is it a one-off from Gibson?

Many moons ago, pre-Jeff Beck Oxblood, I had this one and let it get away:

Yes, Kinda. I had it built. A 55. I would love to get my hands on a Beck Ox. Just never happened. SO I had a copy of E.D. "Wee Willy" Johnson's guitar made.
