Re: Recent late model pickguard shape
I've had Tony at Pickguardian make a few for me with the "old" shape, but the new hole positions. They all fit just fine...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

You mean the FL AFG? That one turned out awesome.

Yeah, that's one. I also had one made for the walnut back, flame maple one-off, moved the neck pickup to the 1'2 inch position since the body was already routed for it and removed the "double hump" in the process...

Got a recent pic?
Good to know that Tony has a template for an old shape/new holes pickguard.

Tony has made several for me, two each for the '04 4003FL and the '08 4003 I had, in several different materials for me.

Re: Recent late model pickguard shape
Killer. One of the nicest Rics ever. The pre-74 guard shape does her justice.

Just wanted to point out that the Rickenbacker corporate website still shows pics of 4003's with the non-humped guard.

That's funny. That headstock shape went away 17 years ago.
