I just made my first pickguard out of an old Who album and I'm thinking that I might do some more. I might throw them up on Etsy or Ebay or something once I have a few more under my belt. Think anyone would buy 'em?  |

Seriously, I think it's cool! Now if you could get ahold of a gold or platinum album...

X8 | Or the colored vinyl records that were so popular in the 70's. I would think that as long as the edges are buffed smooth this is a cool idea.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Metro Detroit | | | I think it's a cool idea. Definitely never seen one before. Like lowfreq33 said you would have to coat the label with something to protect it. It would be cool if you could get different colors, not to sure how you could do that. I have a record by the band Secession that is red and white, looks like one of those old life saver suckers they use to have back in the day, so you could find colored vinyl if you look hard enough. I'd probably get one if it was priced right. I think your on to something here, Good luck my friend.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Windsor, Ontario | | | I think people would buy that, the only issue would be having to cut up a record that you actually like.. who wants a pickguard of an album they hate, but who wants to cut up an album they like? |
