Tinman Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thanks OG, I've sent a message to Sims about the tortoiseshell guard. Sibob and Spike, where did you get your pickguards from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Mine is straight from Fender, i was working for a music shop at the time so managed to blag it for free. For some reason Fender spares/accessories are over the top expensive, i ordered the '62 Tort scratchplate and on the invoice it said something like £45. But yeah....free lol I had to shave it a tiny bit to fit around the control plate, my bass obviously not being a '62, apart from that its perfect.
