This pickguard WILL ONLY FIT THE 1961-1964 EB-0 & EB-3 Gibson basses.

It WILL NOT FIT the current Gibson SG Bass or any Epiphone model (or anything else.)

5 Ply Black/White Pickguard for 1961-1964 Gibson EB-0 & EB-3 Basses.

Please compare the measurements photo on this to what you need, also this early version of the EB basses featured a longer pickguard then the later versions. There are 5 different versions of the EB bass pickguards, this 1961-1964 version, the 1965-1968 version, the 1969-1970 version, the 1971-1972 version, and the last version, the short one, was made between 1973 until 1979. You cannot always use the year your EB bass was made to find the right pickguard--because there are always "overlapping" where Gibson would begin making a new model in the middle of a fiscal year, and they would use up parts that may have been from the previous versions. So it's imperative that you use due diligence when figuring out which one you need.

Screws Included!

Template was made from an unshrunken 1963 EB-0 pickguard. We have not included the thumb rest holes or the lower hand rest mounting hole as most  individuals remove those-and if someone wants those they can easily add them. Please look at the photos closely and ask any questions you may have before purchasing. Gibson did a lot of funny stuff with their pickguards so sometimes there can be discrepancies with screw holes and whatnot, so we can't absolutely guarantee a fit with anything, but we can certainly say we're your best bet.

All GaryG's and WD products are returnable unless the protective plastic or decals have been removed or monkeyed with.

The Fine Print

Choosing The Correct Part: I cannot stress this enough --> Please use due diligence when selecting a pickguard, truss rod cover or back plate for your guitar or bass. There is very little cross compatibility in this industry. It is extremely important to read descriptions, ask questions, look at all the photos, and when a measurement photo is provided, it should be referred to. Don't be lazy or you're going to end up with a part that doesn't fit. Just because something looks like it fits does not mean it will. And while we do accept returns, the only one who really wins when that happens is the United States Postal Service.

Returns & Exchanges: If you need to return your item, or are interested in doing an exchange please contact us before starting a return through the platform's return service. Once you start a return it's often difficult or impossible to do an exchange. Returns may be subject to a restocking charge of our cost of the original shipping if it's obvious you just didn't read the details or failed to use any due diligence when ordering.  

Customer Service: We are committed to making your experience a positive one, and promise to take the time to focus on a resolution if you have any problems, so please message us through this platform's messaging system or better yet give us a call any time between 9AM-4PM MST Monday thru Friday. We prefer phone calls to messages. Our phone number can be found in our logo graphic included in this listing's photos. Hostile environments are created when you open a case or claim against us without contacting us first, or send us rude or demanding communications. When this happens, don't expect us to respond or continue to be helpful. So be nice, and we'll be nice. Also, we take pride in our feedback; any negative feedback or threats thereof will be met with a permanent ban.

               Lost packages:  If the USPS scans a package as delivered, we consider it delivered. If you can't find it or suspect it was accidentally delivered to a different address, that's between you and your carrier, and you need to address the issue with them, not us. We do not offer refunds or replacements for packages that show "delivered" on the tracking. Pickguards may not fit in your standard sized mailbox, so the carrier may set it next to your mailbox or in some other location like your front door or porch, so if you are worried about the safety of your delivered package, you may want to stay on top of the tracking and be there when it arrives or ask a neighbor to grab it for you.  If the USPS actually loses the package, we will ship you a replacement.

International Customers: Please be aware that all international shipping is at the buyers risk. We have made the decision to allow our international friends to make purchases from us, but we don't have the ability to locate your package once it leaves the USA, nor can we contact any foreign postal service to make inquiries if a package gets lost in the system. If your package is lost or stolen, or you fail to pick it up or deal with paying duties, or anything else, we will not be processing any refunds. We are a small independent family run business, we're not Amazon. All international shipping charges are non-refundable.

Our Story: We are an independent family run business based in Boise, ID. Our ultimate goal is to provide difficult (and virtually impossible) to source musical instrument parts to players, collectors, and restoration specialists worldwide. I'm an avid player, collector and builder/repairman/restoration guy myself; I apprenticed under "Luthier To The Stars" John Bolin (Billy Gibbons, Steve Miller, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, etc) back in the early 1980's. I've spent the last 4 decades doing a lot of repair and restoration work. My biggest gripe was always having to fabricate my own plastic parts to replace broken, shrunken or missing pickguards, truss rod covers, back plates, etc. I always wished somebody would eventually come along and start a business specializing in this kind of stuff, but nobody ever did. So in 2015 I decided to do it myself. And I quickly discovered exactly why nobody had successfully done it before - it's a time suck of galactic proportions, and an expensive one at that. In the last 8 years we've spent inordinate amounts of money (and time) acquiring hundreds of original vintage plastic parts, sometimes borrowing, sometimes working with customers to design replacements for impossible to find parts. It's rewarding, frustrating and a lot of hard work, but I love it, and I love my customers. Nothing brings me more joy than customers sending me photos of their completed projects. I'm fully committed to making sure my customers are happy with their purchases, and understand the importance of incredible customer service. And I'll ALWAYS make time to answer questions or talk shop, so give us a call Mon-Fri 9AM-4PM MST! (Our phone number is stealthily located in our logo photo included in each listing)
