    Custom Pickguard for Hofner 500/1

    Sweet! Thank you. And is there any place other than NCM that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Their prices are astronomical.

    Custom Pickguard for Hofner 500/1

    Thanks! That pickguard is so expensive though. But I guess it works. Do you know anything about the control panel? And also, you know the truss rod cover at the headstock? Is there a way to get the writing off? There used to be a video, but I can't find it. And I'm kind of weary about...

    Great ideas which would never sell

    Thumb Placement Quandary

    If you don't want to drill two screws for the thumb rest, use one of the ones in the pickguard, and then you only have to draw one. Check out the placement on some of the MIM 50's Fenders and stuff, it uses a whole in the PG already there.
