BR-9 Pickguard Template

Post by Corey Womack »

Hello everyone,

First post here. Long-time guitar player, first-time lap steel owner.

I recently found the shell of a Gibson BR-9 at an estate sale. I have replaced all the hardware and electronics. And I see from this forum that lots of folks have fabricated their own pickguards. I looked through the 3-D print and CNC stickies and nothing jumped out at me --

Does anyone have a simple template for cutting one of these pickguards out?

Thanks in advance!

I'd take either one if it still exists. Let me know if you find one and I'll send you payment!

Thanks!

Hey!

That's awesome. I sent you a private message with my paypal info -- just shoot me an invoice and we'll get it squared away.

PS -- I don't think I said in the message, I'll take the ivory pickguard. Ha.

Thanks so much for your help.

I sent you a request via PayPal.


An EDIT from the Moderator:
Dear Corey.
I have been asked by George P. to delete HIS email from this public Forum.
Publishing personal info on public forums can be problematic to the person who's information is being published because of search engines and AI "harvesting" information and selling it to telemarketing.

Please keep such communications to email or PM where it can't be seen by third parties.

Thanks!... J-D.
