I will make sure that is the right pickguard. But the Epiphone version is legally available.Good luck!.get the Epi 's actually quite nice at that price, and the average person will never know the difference.GL Gibson will NOT sell its HB pick guard unless you bought the guitar NEW, and are the original owner, and it is under warranty, and you can prove it is defective under warranty.anybody else.forget it.they are not to be had. However if you need one and can not get a Gibson version.I can tell you this is reasonably nice pick guard, with marbling and full HB is a thinner vinyl and is a stick on, but looks pretty darn good for just $13.00!.I have bought one of these from the link I posted below as a spare, since I own both versions of the Hummingbird (Gibson and Epiphone).here is where you can buy the original, genuine and unaltered 'Epiphone Hummingbird pick guard'.they delivered it quickly by mail and on time. Now, it so happens that the Epiphone HB pick guard is as close as you can get to a Gibson HB pick guard.but not quite exact in size, and with some very small differences in pattern. He is showing you a $13.00 Epiphone Hummingbird pick guard! It is available to anyone legally online. WARNING!.The HB pick guard he is showing you in that link is a scam!. The guard in your link first looked a bit uneven thus false to me, but who knows,, compare it to this Standard This of course should happen via the shop where the instrument was bought.

Still I believe it should be possible to get a new under warranty or in the warranty period if it's possible to prove the first has been damaged or had failure from the plant.

Imagine the (second hand)market overflow with fake Birdish guitars all wearing genuine Gibson Hummingbird pickguards. For these reasons, it's not difficult to see why Bozeman would say no to loose sale. Since the late 60's, dozens of Bird-imitations have seen light of day and many have been far below average niveau. Next thing to pay attention is the fact that these pieces of red/brown plastic somehow have gained almost mythical status in western pop-culture and therefor is highly attractive,, , also to put on non-Gibson Bird-like acoustic guitars. First thing to be aware of is that Gibson Hummingbirds come with 2 different versions of the 'same' guard.įor True Vintage models the wildlife motif is engraved then hand-painted.įor the Standard the scenery is embedded below the surface of the plast.
