Has anyone put a pick guard on an L2000?

[Din Of Win]

I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that a G&L L2k is EXACTLY what i want. But, stupid and irrational as it may be, i can't get into it's 'naked' look. Has anyone put a pick guard on one?

I know i'll do something dumb like 'settle' for an HH Ray or a T40 JUST because i like the way it looks better

again... i'm fully aware of how rediculous this is...

I dont think its ridiculous at all. The only ones Ive ever seen on a G&L were clear and I think in Japan or somewhere. I googled it and thats all I came up with. I would love to get a nice pickguard for my L2500 just to snazz it up. You could always have one made by someone like Pickguardian, but Im not sure how you would go about getting the dimensions without sending the bass to him.

I was totally thinking more along the lines of a custom job. If i'd be happy with the end result, i don't think it'd be TOO big a deal to send the body to them (or another pick guard fabricator).

That looks awesome.

That's actually pretty cool looking. Good choice of the natural and tort to show off the shape and style effectively to btw.

I want to have another one made but the shop I got it from has closed.

Do want!


That shape is perfect too!

I'll see if I can sort you out with a template somehow. My next bass will be a black L2K with a pearlescent red pickguard. Got the shape from a Cort of some description.

Sweet!!

I've been wanting an L2K that's a simple (but classy) Oly white body, black pick guard and maple board.

You could always send that pickguard to another place, get them to make a template and cut you another one or two. Heck, you could probably get a few made and flog them to some TB'ers

Wow those basses do look 10x better with pickguards!

IMO the "naked" look as you put it is much classier than the look with a pickguard, pickguards have always signaled lower quality to me.

Hmmm...that could work. I'm trying to find somewhere that can make them for me.

Pickguard Paradise, the same people that make them for G&L.

I love the way this looks and there's no pickguard that would improve it.

It would be a shame to cover such a nice finish.
