late 70s MM pickguard tracing

Post by Mages »

could someone possibly help me out with one? I used to have the pickguard but I sold it to bassintom. also, I believe it's the same as a Bronco pg just with a different pickup location. so if you have a Bronco guard + a mustang/duo guard you could fabricate a MM guard tracing. =}



also, if anyone knows of anywhere I can get a tort 70s MM pg for less than like $60 it would much appreciated. WD wants like $80 and terrapin is at least $100. for a fuckin pickguard.

$100 for a piece of plastic is fucking nonsense. I'll never understand why people continue to accept to pay these prices.

Keep an eye on ebay they pop up quite often. When I wanted to put a chrome control plate on mine I kept the original one and bought one to cut from the 'bay. It was well cheap. Sadly I don't have the guitar or the guard any more.
