Hi !
I bought a HB TE-20 SB a couple of years ago, and know I bought an ex-demo ST-20 SB HSS I like a lot the look they have but I deeplu hate the WHITE pickguard they mount. I bought the harley benton telecaster pickguard but it doesn't fit. It's not compatible.
Are there some pickguard compatible with the harley benton guitars ? I'd like to change both: strato and tele. Because these pickguard have a slightly different shape I think because of the copyright of the original versions.
Can you give me some advice please ?
Thanks for now. Have a nice day
Bye!

Welcome to the HB Club! I bought for my ST-20 a black pickguard from China on ebay and the holes did not match so I drilled new ones now it fits perfectly. I also dislike the white ones.

Yeah Thanks ! I'm glad to be here.
So, you drilled new holes directly on the body of the guitar, right ?

I first found out which holes aligned perfectly with the new pickguard then I screwed those in to hold the pickguard in place. Then used a very thin drill much thinner than the screws. And thats it. If you find time post us a photo or two of your HB gear we love photos (and videos). This is my reliced ST-20 SB with the new black pickguard

ehy ehy, good work ! Very beautiful result. Congratulation Actually, I'm on vacations and I can't take photos of my harley benton. But, to tell te truth, at the moment they are all without any customization. So I don't know if they're interesting. But, buying the last one ( st-20 sunburst ) I'm going to mod her and I will show you my final result. Thanks for now for your advices...I will proceed in the same manner as yours ( drilling the holes ) Greetings!
