ichasedx Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Has anyone found/installed a pick guard similar to a LP on a JTM-59? My main guitar is a 335 and I tend to "plant" my little finger on the pick guard when I do flat picking. I just ordered the Variax and I am hoping to lessen the learning curve with a new guitar.

psarkissian Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Seen a few JTV-59 guitars across my bench with LP pick-guard. They're okay, mount very close to the way LP's do. Just don't drill too deep of a screw hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmancentral Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yes, I've installed a pick guard and the "poker chip" for the pickup toggle on both my JTV-59 and 59P so that they look more like a Gibson Les Paul. It does make a big difference on their appearance. I picked them up from Stewmac.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyboy Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 LP scratch plates (pickguard) pretty close for JTV59 but pickups are slightly different distance. A little sanding will likely be required to fit tightly. As noted don't go too deep with screw holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
