If I were going to engrave the pick guard, first, I'd aprise the customer that it's an unknown material, and he'll be riding at his own risk.
Other than that proviso, I'd say, go at it with the same speed, etc. that you'd use for a Rowmark plastic material.

Can't be a bit of help here but you might call this number (1-800-444-2766). It's Gibson's service dept. They can probably tell you the material.

Joe,
The obvious omission from my earlier suggestion, is to engrave a small portion of the "back" of the pick guard.
If the material's not engravable, nobody will have to know. :-)
It's most likely the same material as the front, even though there's a metal-like surface.

Joe,
It's sooo weird that you bring this up right now.
One of my guitar teacher's former students also wants an engraved pick guard for his Les Paul! He just wants his initials put on it, and didn't know of anyone in our part of Texas that did that kind of work. I haven't talked to the guy yet, but I probably will between now and Christmas.
By the way....can't wait to see you in Vegas again this year!!
