How to fit a pick guard on a Les Paul without screws

RaymondLin

my Les Paul have no pickguard, or finger rest, whatever it’s called.  But I like it put one on except I don’t have to drill holes in the guitar in case I change my mind...are there any products out there that you can clip on the pickguard and clip off?

Chewing gum?

Didn't the 2015 Les Paul guitars have a pickguard that clipped to special pickup rings? Maybe they are available as aftermarket items?

The 2015 ones came with a screw less pickguard, so you'd need pickup ring from that and a pickguard.

Facetious! ‘Nails’ is the the correct answer....

Easy - fit it in the case where it belongs.

Or better still in an envelope after you've sold it on Ebay.

Not a fan of the look then?

No, nor the clicking and creaking noises they can make when you hit them with your pick or rest your fingers on them. The layered black ones on a Custom aren't quite so bad, but the cream ones just look cheap and nasty.

And remember that every Les Paul ever made is even heavier with one on .

They fit in the bin quite easily

A les paul without its pickguard is like Godley without Oates.

You can make little metal L brackets that glue to the side of the pickup rings and bottom of the gaurd. Do it with the gaurd & rings off the guitar of course.

And in case your neck pickup keeps falling out.
