RandomBass Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Without a guard it's too Mr/Mrs Magnolia. Break it up with black. Quote

chris_b Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 They all look good and so does no guard. IMO the black guard looks better with the cream body. -1000 for using screws. +100 for double sided tape. Quote

Screws are part of that 50’s look tho - specially as they were the days before double sided tape 😜 Quote

If I'm going to fit a guard it will have screws. Wondering about mint... It's just that I don't have a mint guard... Quote

songofthewind Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 I think there is a case for a small Cabronita plate, as suggested above. And then maybe you could afford to make that to make that a tort one.. Quote

Most modern tort is essentially unusable. 1 Quote
