Mpcoluv Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 I see several folks have H-150s equipped with Les Paul style pickguards (without the hump at the cutaway). Are those factory items or did you order LP pickguards without screw holes and drill them to match an H-150?
cook Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 I made mine because I didn't want to drill new holes in my guitar. It's pretty tough to find undrilled pick guards.
Kuz Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 I ordered mine without any factory pickguard and then ordered a Gibby-like pickguard. If they come from the factory with the Heritage pickguard, the holes won't match up. SO you will have to drill again if you want the Gibby (our distant Grandfather ) style.

Try Allparts.com They have different colours on there from $9 . Yes,I know they are drilled,but with a little work,blanking off and re drilling,the audience 20 feet away will never see the filled in holes.You can buy rubber grommets that will do the job.I've included a photo of my '32 Epiphone,and the damage to the pickguard I've caused over the 48 years I've owned this guitar.I had a pickup fitted with a volume control,one time.The grommet can be clearly seen,as can the cut out for the pickup. Silly me ! Peter Alton Green
Mpcoluv Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 A company Pickguardian (www.pickguardian.com) will make me one with no screw holes or if I send hte old one, will make a LP style one with the proper H-150 hole locations. All for $27.
