Anybody used Lava Pickguards?

[Chewie]

Hello Groovers,

 

I've been putting together a stack knob jazz and was "considering" treating the thing to a lovely guard.

Any of you guys and gals used these people?

I think this has got real potential............

Hi chewie, just a suggestion, assuming your looking for tort?, the pickguards on the 62 reissues are really nice, they aren’t red like a lot of them they are darker, I’ve got a pic if you need one

You ain’t wrong….. I think it’s a limited stock thing.  They’re £150 a pop.

This is the 62 I got recently ,and the second one still has the plastic cover on but you can see the colours ,apart from the real thing I think they look the best and not too bright ,

I prefer more red and orange and yellow to be honest……

Here’s my recently finished neck…… a 2009 CV…..

Gorgeous and very pricey. I've dropped $$$$ for Lull, Sadowsky, even Fodera, but I've never had a bass I liked enough to spend 

this much for a pickguard...yet...they are very nice though, maybe...just this once...

[pickfordguards]

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words! My guards are not celluloid, I mainly started with focusing on the 1990s Fujigen Red Tortoise guards as I've always been a big fan of them, but have experimented into late 60s inspired stuff as well more lately.

My stuff isnt for everyone, but I like to think I offer a good alternative to the big guys in terms of price. 

Cheers!
