Does anyone have one and can tell me what size pickguard it would take?

Usually it's the width of the neck pickup mount, the gap, and then width of bridge pickup.

There never was any €piphone Les Paul made in 1979
You mean the Adam Jones 1979 sig? It should be the same as any other modern Epi LP with 2x HBs if so

I'm not so certain, I will measure when it arrives but wanted to order in advance if I can.  But if it is, anyone got one of them to measure? Haha.

I had the Veil of Bees model at launch, nothing about it seemed out of the ordinary or gave me reason to think a ‘standard’ one wouldn’t fit. 

They’re nice enough guitars, but otherwise just a normal Epiphone LPC with a maple neck, different paintjob and bridge SH-6 at the end of the day - it’s not like they’ve changed the pickup spacing on the model.

You'd think Gibson would fit as well, but they don't do they?  I assume the pickup surrounds are what changes. Are Epiphones wider?  I have 2 Gibson Custom Shop LPCs, one which I took the unused pickguard from and put on a normal LP no issue apart from support bar strangely (as wanted to use the original chrome).
Yep, the pickup rings themselves are different dimensions
