ok i when i was at jackson yesterday they had a epiphone sg special for 110 bucks used. red, black humbuckers, no pickguard. 2 knobs and a toggley.

just like this.

im thinking rip out all the bullshit, make a new pickguard and make it look like this

i would keep the TOM on it though.

24 bucks for weird odd shaped pickguard is key. gotta email them and see if they can make me one with out the 3 way switch hole on it

PHOTOSHOP FTW

Hi There!

i came across your ebay auction for this sg style melody maker pickguard. it says in your auction that you make custom pickguards.

here is a photo of it from your site

I am asking a price for building this pickguard in plain w/b/w instead of pearl and that you don't make the small rectangular hole for the slider switch. so the pickguard would be just like the one in the photo but plain white with 2 holes for single coils and thats it.

i made a mock up of what i need for you.

as long as they don't charge a testicle for NOT putting a hole in the thing...

rob:

j00 need to do an adj. bridge/tailpiece combo if you aren't putting a maestro on it:

EDIT: but if you feel like stepping up to manland for something with a set neck... add $70 and get one of the sg jr's from white bridge/nomad:

That's gonna be sweet. You leaving the finish or painting it a solid red like the one in the pic?

I think you should put a Bigsby on that shit.
