Hello
I'm looking for a pickguard for my 78 artist award. The guitar came to me with the original dearmond pickup removed and a new Gibson l-5 style pickguard and johnny smith pickup installed. I love the sound of the pickup and would like to keep it, but the wiring harness is a constant pain--when I got it it required a 1/8 mini plug, which was a pain to find and was always pulling out. I switched it to the endpin jack which was still in place from the Dearmond, but now I get annoying buzzes.
To make a long story short, I'd like to
Get a period correct repro pickguard
install a mini-pot for volume and a conventional size jack in the new pickguard
So does anyone know where I can find an appropriate pickguard?
