No plastic. WOOD! Wood basses. Don't wreck them with plastic.
IMO

IMO | As a matter of fact I currently have a walnut pickguard I hand made on it right now  Maybe ill try to get a pic up tonight.
Problem is its hand made lol and I havent the skill to make an excellent one. I am considering getting more walnut or even rosewood and giving it another try.
Stratocaster?... thats my other project  |

I think they both look good. Black pearloid would be another option to consider. I'm putting black pearloid on the P I am currently building (pearl white body, Wenge J neck with a Bubinga fingerboard), so I'm kinda biased right now. Quote:

IMO | on a P-bass, where that little corner of the guard supports the output jack? i'd give it a week before it broke. Quote:

| | Registered User | | | | | I actually broke that area when I was making the pot hole in my walnut guard. Its a side output jack however so not much issue.
I think everyone loves tort Lol now I need to find someone who won't charge me 100 bucks or more :/
Thanks for all votes! |

|  | Registered User | | | | | I hate plain plastic, I prefer tortoise, or black or white pearloid. The plain, solid, plastics, just look plastic to me. Yeah, I know, they're all plastic, but some look more plastic than others.
