New and improved pickguard. This is much better!!!

[NavyBass]

I finally got a new tortoise shell pickguard for the Wife. I decided to match pickguard and pickup. I had to do some very careful cutting to make it work right, but I think the results were well worth it. Check it out. Again, sorry about them not being natural light, when the sun comes out here I'll get some.

I find that sexy. Despite what anyone may say later, I think leaving the white on the sides is perfect!

From the front you can't see the white, but it does show up from the side. I kind of like it like that.

Likewise! That's why I want it to stay.

That is one sexy looking bass. Good job:)

I used the piece I cut out from the pickguard to cover the pickup, this way the pattern matches perfectly.

It's a decal I made. It's my Coat of Arms. Between the 2 lions is a snowflake.

My rule of thumb: Pester JP if you think you will actually get something, have the resources, and are seriously considering it. I don't bother him with dreams. :p

JP, I haven't spoken to my bosses yet, but I think they might be interested in a proposition I have for you. I work at an acclaimed photography studio, and in exchange for one of your instruments, how would you like to have your customs professionally photographed? They're big fans of the barter system, and they are also musicisans/wood connoisseur's so they would be able to ship you high quality wood at a discount and do your photography. We've done guitar work before, and if I can find the pic I'll post it for you, but I would just like to know if you're interested.

JP prepare to be annoyed to hell.

I do have the resources, i was going to order the parts from warmoth, but why pay all that money and im not getting my dream shape... which is a shape JP offers.. Single Cutaway.
I hate Neckthrus but im willing to deal for 90% of what i want.

[Polyamarous]

Looks awesome. Do you think you'll sell that one? It's not that I'm interested but just wondered.
