Now I needed the mounting bracket, which was also a search. I finally found an ad on Ebay for a pickguard made for a 2007 Casino, from a source recommended in internet discussions, C-Rocker Guitars. According to the serial number, my guitar is Chinese, made in 2006. A lot of places that custom make pickguards want the buyer to send a tracing of the old pickguard, but I didn’t have one. The PickguardĬasinos have changed over the years and have been made in different factories in different countries. In fact, the whole process was a journey, which I will recount here for anyone else who goes down this path. It turned out that finding a pickguard that would fit was a bit tough. The other reason was that I thought a cherry red guitar would look awesome with black pickups, black top hat knobs, and a black 5-ply pickguard. I ended up putting my finger on the bridge pickup, which was a bit far back. However, without a pickguard, the body of the guitar was a long way down. I am a little sloppy finger picking, and this helps tighten things up. One, when I finger pick I tend to anchor my hand on my little finger. I wanted mine to have one, for two reasons.
A lot of people take them off and then they get lost.
