Pickguard for a greco that actually fits?

[noisemaker]

Hello guys,

I've had this beautiful EG59-50 for about a year now and really loving it.
The problem is it came without a pickguard and I'm really wanting to put one on.

Ordered a hosco one that left a huge gap since the distance between the pickups was only about 57mm but the actual distance of the pickups on the guitar is almost 60mm.

Can anyone point me in a direction of a proper fitting pickguard?

I would like to know if there as been any update to this as well.

I asked this a while ago as well.
The guidance was P90 LP pickguard and cut it down to size or there is a site that will make your pickguard based on your measurements.

I'm thinking of going that way but that still leaves the question of the top screw fitting properly.
I guess it would be possible to shave top part a little to accommodate the few mm needed but not sure how that's gonna look/fit

I was going through that thread and was thinking about maybe trying this one.

A beveled edge just looks wrong on a cream pickguard.
But, hey, that’s just me.

I have an MIJ deluxe with mini hums that has a slightly off mounting hole and Dan at mojoaxe was able to send me a printable template for a 54/56, have me line up the hole in relation to where it typically is and then sent me a new template with the hole correctly placed.

I confirmed everything lined up and he made the pickguard and shipped it within a week or two I think.

His work isn’t cheap, but you’ll get what you want the first time you buy it and the quality is very nice.

Edit to add; that’s a killer LP, love the burst.

feel the same way, got a unbeveled p90 pickguard that I'm gonna try and turn into a proper fitting one.

Thanks! I love the darker burst.
I might go with mojoaxe if nothing else works. I'm a pickguard on type of guy and I'm going crazy not being able to put one on this great guitar.

Anyone seen this:

'80 Greco EGF pickguard for sale on Reverb

*Edit* After checking it out, those don't appear to be the original TP and bridge to a Greco EGF 850, but the pickguard looks legit.

That looks like it would fit! Even the mounting hole near the neck.

If someone here bought it, please make an outline or template with measurements.
