Looks nice on your guitar, I had a nice blonde '48 as well, the guard was just starting to go when I sold it. One of the better L7's I've heard, but then early post war acoustic Gibsons are generally punchy and full sounding for some reason.

You keep your stuff nice. I love it.

Just wanted to point out that the binding on the AllParts pg isn’t quite right. On most Gibson L5 pick guards, the first layer of black (from the outside going in) is thicker than the rest of the black layers. On the AllParts version, all the black layers are the same. They’re great guards, and I have one on my 55 L5CESN, but thought it might matter to some.

I see some with 5 layers of binding for less than $60 and whatever they are doing is sure efficient because it still takes time and material. I have to get $80 or it is not worth the effort. The good thing is that some pickguards have to be fashioned indvidually for the guitar. The stuff I have been using is also twice a thick and works fine most of the time. In the end though just running a price check on ebay for L5 pickguards there are lots of good options that are not expensive. The price has definitely come down on them. It does not have be be exact just pretty close.

Another vote for the Allparts guard. I’ve used 3 of them with great results each time.
