Dingwall Owners Club

On board (again) : just bought a super P! I love my NG2, but it’s probably sounding a bit more edgy/modern than what most of what I play asks for... so I’ve been drooling over super P pics for quite some time now, and stumbled upon this one, that’s at home since last week:

DANG that looks good. I'm a sucker for solid finishes.

For my part, at least as it relates to SJ models, I think they look better and more "classic" (i.e. Fender'ish) with the pickguard and that aesthetic suits me better than the ones without. I can't help but feel that the Combustion and NG models are trying to strike a middle ground between classic and modern with their styling. Obviously since they're not custom order models the purchaser doesn't have as much control. Perhaps Dingwall should release a number without the guard and see how they do. They're a hot enough commodity that I can't see it being a risky proposition for them regardless of which version sells better.

I seem to remember when the Combustion models first came out the pick guard was an option. Am I miss-remembering?
