Pea Turgh Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Without pick guard is my take. Nice colour. Was it a PB50 once? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomBass Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Without a guard it's too Mr/Mrs Magnolia. Break it up with black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh balls, I was just coming to terms with a no-guard situation. It's actually more creamy than the pics show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the bass a lot, but if it's to be a keeper it has to be white (or one of the very many shades and/or hues thereof). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted July 21, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screws are part of that 50’s look tho - specially as they were the days before double sided tape 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to be a light mint though, don't want it looking too green. And it would need to be a 3-ply. Edited July 21, 2018 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

songofthewind Posted July 21, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most modern tort is essentially unusable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
