Pickguard replacements

[nad]

Hey!

I've been playing EBMM's since the tender age of 15, but anyway I was wondering if anyone knew of any places that I can get a replacement pickguard for my newly aquired SUB1 Guitar.

Preferably in the UK as I don't want to have to incurr the headache following if it gets damaged in the post! Also, would the silhouette special pickguard fit fine on a SUB?

Cheers!

P.S. Nice lil' community you have going on here - if there are any guitarists from the UK (although those from other sides of varying ponds are welcome too) check out these forums that I also moderate.

Sorry I don't know where exactly you can buy it, but I presume a Silhouette pickguard won't fit 'cause the SUB1 has HH or H pickups, as oposed to the Silo special which has SSS or HSS

Hey there - welcome!

The Silhouette Special guard will fit just fine. However as Junior mentions, the pickup config will be off - the Sub's body is routed for HH. Raz (another member here) routed his sub for SSH and fit a silo spec guard - looks really good:

As for ordering one, Chandler in the US seems to be the preferred source. http://www.pickguards.us/

You're right but he'd have to change the pickups then... and that cost money ;D

Spud, when I check Music Man link, they seem to have only pickguards for Sterlings and Stingrays

I was under the impression Chandler made them for EBMM. Btw, the guard for Raz's Sub came from them - it was orginally mine for a Silo Spec.

Good point but they also make guards from your own tracing.
If it were me, I'd buy a blank and make one myself.
- or probably get my guitar making buddy (Mr Dearnaley) to do one for me.

Cheers! I'll get one on the way when I get paid next. If Canon ever return my Digital Camera that I sent in for repairs 5 weeks ago I'll get some pictures of the thing when it's done too for posting.

You guys keep using that SUB of mine I'm going to have to start charging a royalty fee

Yo Nad if you call Kenny at 1-530-899-1503(pickguardheaven/Chandler) and explain what you want, he can make you a SUB pupguard with the H-H config...I think the cost difference isn't much. He's a really cool guy.

Ta Raz, I'll bare that in mind. Won't bother ringing him though because I'm not gonna order for a couple of weeks yet (being a student has its pluses occasionally.. honest)!
