I have a 1995 Silhouette Special HSS, and I am looking to make a few loaded pickguards to swap out via the Quick Connect. Anyone know if over the years they changed the pickguard slightly? I can buy one from someone in another state (it is from 2010) but I don't want to get it if I have to re-drill screw holes or it otherwise doesn't line up.
I did look at Pickguard Planet, and while I can get it from there, its about $65 with $35 shipping (!?!). EBMM doesn't have any pearl white available, but they do seem considerably cheaper if they actually did have them.

This just came up recently, like within the last month or so. I seem to remember that the mounting hole location are different.

I'm seeing shipping to Florida is $15 when you complete the form.

By the way, Pickguard Planet, Pickguard Heaven and Pickguard Express (Pickguard Express – Closeouts & Blowouts – Your destination for bargains on Pickguards & Guitar Parts) are all the same people (Chandler Music). From the Pickguard Planet website, you can do customized orders directly from the product pages.

So, there is a difference in pickguards from early models to the later ones, according to customer service- the cut out for the trem is slightly different because they used the Wilkinson early on before switching.
