A word on PICKGUARDIAN!

Nothing but good for Tony. A while back I needed a tortoise pickguard for a Ripper (it arrived without a pickguard, but with a piece of acrylic spraypainted black, and roughly hacked in shape. It was an early Ripper, which came with a nitrate guard, which had desintegrated. Asked Tony if he could make me a tortoise guard, and he could, and he could make one that looked like the original, with the correct thickness, bevel, motif,... He even gave me some suggestions on what he would do if he was me. Needless to say: the guard arrived and was absolutely splendid. And a perfect fit!

Tony's the boss. I've had lots of stuff made by him, from pickup bezels, to custom PGs, and the work has never been anything less than perfect. Usually, I expect to have to 'massage' a pickguard here and there to make it fit, but I've never had to do that with any of Tony's stuff.

I think his prices are pretty reasonable, turn-around is fast, and he has a great selection of top-shelf material too.
