Tried to find a dual P90 pick-guard for an Epiphone Les Paul Special I P-90 Limited-Edition and I couldn’t find anything! Tried to buy one for the Gibson version, and it was hella expensive, near $40! And then I tried to find a template, and I couldn’t find one either. So I decided to make my own and give the template back the community. Here’s the template:

How to use it

  1. Don’t print the PNG. The PNG may resize, etc, via the printer options
  2. Don’t print the PNG
  3. Did you print the PNG? Throw it away, and print the PDF
  4. Cut out the Template
  5. Paste the template to some pickguard material of your choice
  6. Cut out the pickguard
  7. Clean the edges. (You will need to get creative here, I used sanders, knives, etc to get a 45 degree angle, and still it wasn’t perfect)
  8. Drill the screw holes. (I recommend choosing your own location for the screw holes. Notice how the Long Version moves the holes a bit. Those were adjusted to my preference)
  9. Place it on the guitar

Results

Here’s how mine turned out. I tried to give it a worn/matte look
