Guarding My Model 350

Looking through Richard's Smith's Rickenbacker book, I noticed an interesting pickguard arrangement with a different colour top and bottom tiers. So, I tried this on my 350. The photos are below. An interesting look and this should guard against this long cold winter.

cool, very cool. Wonder if that would work with my split guard 4008?

I like the way the toggle switch looks.
The reflection of your curtains (at least I think it's curtains) makes it look like quilted maple. Very cool guitar!

As has been pointed out to me, a black top would look cool as well. I just happened to have a white upper tier around. Where is Don when you need him?

Interesting wood-grain there, Peter... or is that flowery, lacey stuff just a reflection from your curtains?

Yes Andrew, sorry I couldn't curtain myself.

..."I just flew back from Hawaii, and Boy, are my arms tired!", but seriously, Peter, you need a black top guard?Get a hold of me.A personal value judgement to be sure, but if ya gotta go 2 tone, black and gold looks better than white and gold...

Well, Peter, the way you drape your puns throughout this forum is most amusing.

That's a spectacular look Peter. It's very '50's whitwall tyres' style - the Burns knobs really set it off. Retro-chic!

Peter, dare to be bold! Turn your Good Ric into a Fabric! Behold!
If you'd like I could see if there's more where this beauty came from...

Lindsay: Is that look a "sign" of the times?

Perhaps, but I won't "yield" to the temptation of actually installing it.

Thanks Lindsay. I hope that my comments won't become a barrier in our relationship.

Actually, guys, I think a little "constructive criticism" is probably necessary in this situation!
