Where can I find a Swinger pickguard?

Painting? Routing? Set-up tips? Or just straight-up making a guitar from scratch? Post here, and post pics!

Where can I find a Swinger pickguard?

Post by h8mtv »

I am working on a Swinger clone of sorts and I need a pickguard, preferably green celluloid or black. Any ideas? I ordered a green pearl mustang one from Warmoth but it doesn't fit in the lower horn dept. I may mod it but I'd rather have one cut to fit proper.

I could trace mine.
I'm pretty sure Pickguardian used to do one but there isn't one on their site now.

Well in an update I had ordered a Mustang pickguard, didn't fit obviously. I am not exactly doing a traditional Swinger build so I tried reshaping the Mustang guard to fit my needs and I am rather happy with the results.

That's what Virgillo Simoni did back in '69
