Actually I agree guys...

It appears the guy doing the guards at certain times might have had a viewing problem following the contour of the body!

Guitars are mostly wood and a little bit of plastic, so you gotta make sure that little bit of plastic is perfect!

Andy, extra guilty of over-obsessing, since your greeny was the the one I obsessed over to shape my new guard!

(I actually had to shave off a bit more right in the "trouble area" as it didn't quite follow the curve as it came...)

You do have good taste there Paul!

After a few years of neglect I had some work done. The saddle was sagging, it needed to be intonated, and the truss rods needed adjusting. I then installed gold hardware and put flats on and fell in love with her all over again.

That gold hardware looks great! Where is that from?

Brian - that V63 is amazing! Please give us some details regarding the gold hardware and plastics.

If you'd described that gold-trim v63 I would have thought it was tacky, but somehow it totally works.

I agree - it has a very 50's vibe to it, like the original 4000 basses.

Briam, That looks amazing! I like it!
