Here is a Jeannie's guard with thumbrest. He has two designs - one is very thin and slides under the Dark Star. The one I have lays on top of the guard.
Since I like the tone from using a pick with Dark Stars over the neck pickup or fretboard, I felt a guard was necessary.
I need a number too !!!

When will the short-scale Decades be available to order? The web-site says Coming Soon. I asked a dealer about ordering one last week, but I was told they weren't in production yet.
I keep thinking about getting one more Lakland and I've decided on a short scale. Markus Orange vs. Natural?![]()

. I've gotta get some different strings on her or put the fretted neck back on, cause right now I prefer my Pentabuzz w/ chromes.My fretless Proto is getting zero playtime.

Proto's wearing MTD nickels, that the previous owner strung thru the body. I can't get the fatter strings to intonate, some saddles are at their extremes. And, I play by using the lines.
She looks so good w/ the ebony fb though....
What to do, what to do???
