Custom Picguard for Gibson SG Standard

Post by JonVengeance »

I want to wire my backup SG for a single bridge pickup. The pickup I will be using is a distressed BKP VHII that I really want to try out. It would look bad with any of my other neck pickups though. Plus, for playing live I don't really need a neck pickup and I think it could look pretty cool.

What I need is a custom shop that will make a standard SG pickguard without the neck pickup routing.

I've tried searching google, ebay, amazon, and contacting one custom shop I found in Florida who hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Any suggestions for companies that will do custom pickguards?

I'm guessing the custom shop you're talking about in Florida is WD Music
this place does custom as well http://pickguards.us/pgordinst.htm

Yeah, the first one I tried was WD music. I saw the second shop, but their ordering process seems to take a lot of effort. I'll check them out though.

I've bought stuff from WD before (when I lived in the UK) and they were decent. Believe I bought a pickguard for my HH strat actually.

Have you tried Warmoth also?
