Anyone bought the Bridge Pickup Plate from pickguarian for their 4003 s ?

Why the sudden interest in 4003s buddy?

I was just wondering if anyone else had tried them on a 4003? i quite like the look of these.

Are you sure you want to replace the cover? It makes a nice handrest.

I ordered a set of guards from Pick Guardian weeks ago.
They took my money quick enough but I've not heard a peep since and no replies to emails either.
I'm not impressed.

I've had nothing but good luck with Pickguardian. Have you tried to contact Tony via email?

He was on vacation, just returning on the 12th.

Scott, have you seen these?

He's returning on the 12th? Of what, November?
There is no mention on the web site, or when you place an order that he closes the whole thing down to go on vacation.
I hope he spent my money on something nice.

Don't worry, Rob, Tony is very much a reputable guy, I have met with him many times. He is a one man (and wife) operation and might get bogged down occasionally. I have been fortunate enough to drop a bass off with him a couple times on a Friday afternoon and pick up the finished pickguard on Sunday on my way back home from a visit to friends/family in Columbus. He even co-sponsored our Columbus Confluence in May '05!

It seem our lot (Rickenbacker-ers) is to sometimes wait... as in ordering one. But seriously Tony is nothing but good to work with. If there is a reason as to why you have not been re-contacted it is probably a good one. Personally I don't advertise to the world when I go on vacation or will be away from the homested. Just doesn't seem smart to me.

Nor does it seem smart business practice to take an order, and the customers money, then go away on holiday and worry about it when you get back.
Anyhow, just got an email saying the order has been sent, so there is a happy ending in sight.

Did you place the order on-line? If so, it is probably an automated thing so that Tony need not be there to monitor things. I have always talked with him on the phone (something quite understandable that you can not do, at least for minimal cost), so I have never ordered from Tony on-line, therefor I am only making a guess as to the process.
