New Pick guards

Post by valenti »

Anyone have experience with pick guards from Pickguardian.com? I'm thinking of putting a different color guard on my 660-12BBR.

Thanks in advance (as always!)

Tony's pickguards are the best. It is preferable to send him your original PG if you want an exact match as to size/hole spacing, etc.

I left him my bass for a couple days to make this:

He also made the finger rest.

Tony's made pickguards for four of my Ricks including my 660/12. He does an outstanding job.What color is your 660/12 and what color guards are you going for?

OOPS! I just noticed you have a Blueburst 660/12. Sorry. What color guards?

I bought a black set for a Jetglo 330. The fit was perfect, the quality is great and the delivery was quick.

Thanks to all. I'm thinking of a black one, since to my eye, the gold doesn't fit well (unlike my 650S, nothing else on the guitar is gold). I'll probably keep the original in case I ever decide to sell it.

How about silver to match all the hardware?

White pearloid would look nice.

How about on a 360/12 jetglo? Pearl? Silver? White backed clear? I want to differ it from my 360/6 jetglo.
Got to start with one make it a 360/12.

Yeah, pearl, silver, white backed clear.

You decide.
