Pickguard without mounting holes? Not possibile

[Bruno]

It is not possible.
Mr. Gregg (always very kind) reply to me: "Start pickguards are sold with mounting holes only. We use the mounting holes to hold the pickguard to our patterns to give to the other route."
So, I have to resign me to spend too much money for a original suhr pickguard (90$+shipping costs+tax), whose only difference with a fender pickguard is the position of some hole for mounting ....
:tard:

are looking for a holeless pick guard or guitar?  After reading tfarny's post maybe I am confused.  I have never seen anyone fill holes in a pickguard.

Shit, we're talking about filling tiny holes in the body UNDER the pickguard. If you aren't willing to do that, I think putting together custom guitars is not the right hobby for you.

Do you have a suhr custom guitar?

No. Do I need to own a Suhr before I can say that drilling pickguard mounting holes in a strat body is not a big deal?  :dontknow: Didn't realize that was the rule.

Seriously, drilling new holes in the body is the standard practice. Getting a pickguard with no holes, so you can match already drilled body holes, makes no sense - how will you mark the pickguard for drilling, first of all? Then, if you make one tiny alignment mistake, you'll have to throw away the pickguard and start over.

I don't agree.
I did already make a pickguard without holes. I applied over the original pickguard and I made the holes.
It's easy, 30" of your time.
Considering that I would make a further order from Warmoth - as soon as possible - , the pickguard was an item to add (no more now). Besides writing I wanted to enlighten the forum for this unfortunately (im)possibility.
Then you can do anything if you wish, of course
