Gibson les Paul Screwless Pickguard

[Gibsonrocknroll]

I have two Gibson les Paul Standard Faded models. Both models came without the pickguards installed. These guitars have been this way for years. I always wanted to add pickguards but I did not want to drill holes. I had the Bobby Lee pickguard but I didn't like the look. I recently found a screwless pickguard mount that was being sold on eBay. I figured I would give it a try. It was only $8.99 with free shipping. The only thing I didn't like about it was it didn't show the pickguard bracket installed and I wanted the bracket to be installed. When the screwless mount arrived I tried to figure out how would I incorporate the pickguard bracket. I mounted the bracket on the pickguard and thought of a way to install the bracket without damaging the finish on the guitar. I figured a way and here are photos of the pickguard installed. It can be removed in minutes with no holes on the guitar.

How do you fasten it to the guitar?

Nice. I'm looking at a similar one on Reverb

Very cool. The LP HP models come with a screwless pickguard as well; they have little clips that snap into the custom-made pickup rings:
