Vintage 61' SG Les Paul half face pickguard

[Southbound Suarez]

Where these pickguards 5 ply (black, white, black, white, black) ? I'm going to order a custom one from Chandler as my guitar came with a "one off" pickguard in white (from the Gibson CS) that was never ever on a 61' SG Les Paul. It didn't even come with the Gibson vibrola (or tremolo) and has a certificate that states that it was a NAMM show (but was never displayed there). It's a "one off" insofar as the pickguard is concerned.

I would recommend WD Music

My WD Music guard isn't a half face, but the custom full one I bought fits my SG perfectly.

Otherwise, there's taking chances on eBay and Reverb

Thanks BB, I ended up going with a vintage correct SG Custom PG w/o the tongue portion of the PG in 5 ply (Black,Parchment,Black,Parchment,Black) with the proper vintage correct bevel. I'll have to drill the holes myself as the ones I'll have to match to are not correct and there is a upcharge/fee associated with tooling to do so. I'll end up saving myself bucks and having a vintage correct PG w/TR cover for around $25
