Gibson flying V pickguard. Will it fit on an Epiphone Flying V?

I have an epiphone flying V and a want to make it look like a Gibson. Will the Gibson pickguard fit without any modifications?

The Gibson pickguard will fit…but it will take some modifications. The two holes for the bridge wont QUITE line up. The bridge hides this and it’s not noticiable. The bridge pickup slot on the gibson pickguard is a little further back (closer to the bridge) so you will need to route the pickup hole on the guitar itself a bit. Be careful not to route it TOO much. Of course the pickguard will cover the routing job so it doesnt have to be a pro job…. just has to make clearance for the pickup.

Hope that helps… I have done a few of them.
