My 2003 didn't come with a pickguard or holes for one. Do I need a specific pickguard or any gibson LP pickguard will fit on my LP? Sorry for the dumb question. I have no idea if standards change slightly through the years.

www2.gibson.com/gibson.aspx is where I would get one direct from Gibson themselves and you should be good to go and yes you will have to drill for it .

If you get a chance take a pic for comparison.

That era LP had the "cream" colored plastic with a pink hue.

So I took a quick picture with the pickguard just placed on the LP. Not screwed in yet. I'm waiting for the bracket to arrive. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet but I think it looks great with the pickguard.
