He had a couple of Takamines in the latter Catholics days, and on the Pixies tours, both of which had a hole worn through where the pickguard should have been.

There are, however, a couple of threads at least on this subject, which might go into more depth.

He used a beat up blue Washburn in early Pixies days.

No pickguard on those guitars, the holes just got worn through.
