Heritage, G*b$on pickguards

[JohnCovach]

Does anybody know for sure if a standard-issue G*b$on 335 pickguard will fit a 535, or if a 175 pickguard will fit a 575?  I have a sense that the two screw holes may be placed differently (your dirty mind!!), though I wouldn't be surprised if they were otherwise sized right.  Can anyone confirm, disconfirm, or otherwise opine wildly?

There are some people here who have made custom pickguards for their Heritages, maybe one of them will jump in here.  Also, Jay Wolfe get's some guitars (535s, 150s,) with a more traditional shaped pickguard.  I've never cared for the stock Heritage pickguard myself and have ordered guitars without pickguards or just taken them off.

I have a great pickguard on my 137 that Cryoman made.  I asked Jay about pickguards some time ago and he doesn't sell them separately.  Ren told me he could get pickguards made.  I do have someone here who will make them, and there are a few online sources for this as well (I've had good luck with Pickguradian and and Pickguard Heaven).  But if the stock part will fit, why that might do the trick in this case.

Hi Jc,

 

I can only tell from my H 150. The guy who owned it before had a G.... pickguard on it. Later I replaced it with the original matching Heritage pg. The two screw holes were slightly different.
