Mounting bracket?

[nordicchill77]

Hey guys, I recently have had a little problem with my pickguard mounting bracket. The bracket seems to be awkwardly bent just above the joint. I was wondering if this Gibson bracket would fit my Epiphone. Any thoughts?

You should be able to make it work OK but you may want to use the metric screws from your existing PG.

That's what I was thinking I would have to do. Thanks, I wish all guitars could have the same specs when it comes to screws and other stuff like that.

I agree, the rest of the world has been metric for a long, long time, about time the US caught up, LOL.

These brackets are pretty easy to bend, why can't the original one be bent back into shape ?

LOL, yeah it is about time the US caught up ...when I was in High school in the mid-'70's, the push was on for us to learn the metric system as it was going to become the new standard in the US .... heh....only thing that's really changed for the most part is a lot of packaging has the metric equivalent of our usual measures printed along with the usual "12 fluid ounces," "1 pound," etc....we do, though, use a lot of metric in the hospital...drug dosages, patient intake/output...

haha, One of my teachers was telling me that the US actually became "metric" but never fully converted.
