We had these made from a template directly from a tracing of one of our
customers Custom Shop VOS 1963
Gibson SG Junior Lightning Bar Reissues. The guard these Custom Shop
models came with has an annoying rounded over tip on the bottom cutaway
that looks weird--we made these more pointy and they curve in a little
so the point isn't hanging over the edge of the carve. They are only
available from us. We hand scrape away almost the entire bottom black layer along
the edge so just a tiny bit of black was visible, JUST LIKE THE
ORIGINAL '63! The original vintage guards were cut so you really didn’t
see more of the bottom black layer than just a sliver. (Some were
actually 2 ply with no bottom black layer) Then we age
the edge with a custom mixed lacquer that gives it a very subtle ivory
tint to match my original '63 guard. The protective plastic is still on
the pickguard. Please verify the fit before you peel it off.
Not compatible with ANY other SG or SG JUNIOR style guitars, either USA made or International models. This is
for the Custom Shop '63 SG JUNIOR Lightning Bar 63 Reissue. ONLY
SCREWS INCLUDED! (8 Qty.)
Please note:
All new pickguards are returnable UNTIL you peel off the plastic.
Please be certain of fit BEFORE you do any peeling.
International Customers
Due to the extremely high cost of shipping internationally,
and the even more extreme cost of RETURN shipping, we reserve the right to
cancel international orders. We promise to do our best to communicate with you
to make sure you get the correct guard for your guitar, but if we don't receive
responses to our communication attempts, we reserve the right to cancel the order.
