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.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Melody-Maker-SG-PIC ... 562f6d0a9a

here is a photo of it from your site
http://guitarpartscenter.com/newpgs/MELODYMAKERSG1.jpg

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.

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.

Great idea, turn an otherwise bland guitar into a sweet looking piece.
What kinda single coils are you thinking of using?
