brentrocks Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 i bet a black bound/flamed PG would look good....you should be able to call Heritage and buy one from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLorean Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 If you want a new pick guard from Heritage, you will have to send your guitar there to have it fitted. These are hand built guitars, not cookie cutter CNC products. Each guitar, and pick guard, is unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I STILL can't believe that the previous owner of my H-535 (or maybe the owner before him) removed the pickguard. How the hell can ANYONE remove a flamed maple BOUND pickguard that matches the color of the guitar? WTH??? Of course, the PG on my H150 covers up a tiny finish chip that happened where the pickguard screw hit the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 On a trans red 535, I agree with Brent. A bound black finish curly maple guard. For my personal taste, I would specify the Johnny Smith guard . . . same as Jay Wolfe does on his H 555s. In fact, if you go on his web site, you just might see one in red with that guard on it.

bolero Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 cool, thx for the info guys! I was thinking of a rounded PG because I kept jabbing my hand on my old 535, grabbing for the toggle switch but I like the look of the jagged one more...so I'll live with the pain red PG looks pretty neat, but I think it'd be red overload...I like the contrast with the black, & it matches well with the rest of the HW I think the binding is cream on the gtr, can you get cream bound pickguards? or do they all come w/white? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
