Question To the modders: Where else to get a pickguard?

[B2D]

Anyone else know where I can get an HSS, HxH, or HxS pickguard for my Silhouette Special besides Chandler?

There's a bunch of pickguards on eBay but they're all for Silo's; I need one for a Silo Special.

My guitar is currently loaded with Duncans, I'd like to build up a 2nd pickguard assembly for a DiMarzio set.

Whats wrong with Chandler? They are great. No other companies can compare to their prices and good service.

Chandlers is OK, do a google search, a few out there.

Nothing at all! One of their guards is sitting on my Silo Special right now.

I'm just interested to see what other makers are out there and what materials they offer.

Just send them a template and they can create what you want. I had a custom Tele pickguard made from them that was great.

Here are a couple:

Sharp Concepts Guitar Pickguards - Custom Pickguard Products

Pickguard Paradise :: Custom Created Guitar Accessory

Most of the places will make you a custom one, but you have to either send them yours or a tracing of it.

Careful with those ebay ones.....they all say they won't fit a silo spec.

I got mine from Pickguard Heaven and I'm very happy with their work. I highly recommend them. Pickguard Heaven: Pickguards for Every Guitar

I did some digging and I have 3 extra Silo Special pickguards here, if anyone is interested. They are all new.
Black SSS
Gold Swirl SSS
Blue Swirl HSS

I also have a new Silhouette shell HSH pickguard, too.

Feel free to drop me an email if anyone can use them.

Did not see this until just now... PM incoming.


I got my chandler guard ordered but I think I may try another place next time... took 'em more than a week and a half to get back to me and send me an invoice for the order, and that's on top of a 3 week lead time.

Meanwhile I've got an Air Norton, Air Zone, and a D Sonic sitting here begging to be played!

Well, at least I know I'll get getting a good guard.

Chino is about 50 miles away from me, I could drive there, haha.

But hey, they're a small outfit with a lotta demand on them, and they make great stuff. As much as I don't like waiting, I'm willing to pay a little extra $$ for a good product and supporting a local, American business.
