Guys, I want to make a homemade pickguard for my Silo (24 fret). Does anybody have a PDF template for SSS/SSH pickguard ? I dont wanna mess with the string spacing so I decided to ask if maybe someone who has a SSS/SSH Silo would give the template. Thanks before.

Be careful, I believe the dimensions of the Silo special pickguard (SSS/SSH) are quite different to the standard Silo (HSH) if only because one is 22 frets and the other is 24 fret, ie not interchangeable. I'm not 100% sure so maybe someone else will clarify.

'Tis true. They are not interchangeable. Vintagebluesguy will need a Silhouette SSS template, which EBMM have not offered for some years.

BTW, the Silo/Silo Special pickguards fit nicely on a scanner! You could scan yours and start from there. Place the neck single coil where the neck side coil of your neck humbucker is. For the bridge pickup, somebody else will need to help you, though you can probably figure it out nicely but looking at photos of the SSS Silo Special.
