The Collings Forum

I recently purchased a used Collings SoCo LC-16 Deluxe. I love the guitar but it has no pickguard and I'd like to have one as when I play rhythm, I can tend to stray with the right hand. I contacted Collings, but they told me due to Covid-19 all their production efforts were concentrated on finishing guitars and that they could not provide me with either a pickguard or a schematic to make one. So, I assumed perhaps an 'Gibson ES-335 type' pickguard would fit, so I downloaded all sorts of Gibson ES-335, 339, 347, etc. pdf files for their pickguards and none quite fit. If I only had a schematic, I could make something myself or have something made. I may just work something up but first I thought I might appeal to you all in the forum: Is anyone interested in selling your I-35 pickguard or does anyone have one detached from their guitar and could trace out and scan a pdf they could send me?

Thanks,
