jet & tort Rickenbackers?

I can't say that I ever recall seeing one with a tort guard, but I LOVE the idea! That Marcus Miller 5 on here that was posted yesterday or today with the black/tort combo is really hot. I bet a Rick would look fantastic w/ it. Especially if someone took a beater and redid the binding in tort!

 

I asked the same thing in the Rickenbacker Club thread. No response. I've only seen black and white pickguards on the Rics. Surely somebody has thought outside the box. They do offer them at Pickguardian.

 

Maybe it's time for a Photoshop.

 

I don't know where I got the original picture for this photoshop. I had it in my screensaver file. So if it belongs to someone here, sorry about using it without permission.



Honestly, I think this looks gorgeous. I may have to seriously rethink my thoughts on getting a black pickguard and go with the tort.

 

I think white tort might be better - or even black tort!

 

Holy shat, that's the best lookin' rick I have EVER seen

 

Wow. Very nice! (Eagle Moon is a Photoshop wizard!)

I used to always wish they'd make a Jet Glo Ric with an ebony fingerboard, but keep the shark's teeth inlays. I think that would be an awesome combination.

 

Shhh....thanks. I'm traveling incognito this week.

 

Wow. Thanks for giving me pick guard gas for my Jetgo. That looks awesome!!!

 

Damn You EM! I WAS quite happy with my Jetglo.

 

Sorry about that.

 

I put a white pearloid pickguardian p/g on my jetglo Ric, and to me, that's the shiznits.

 

As if I didn't already want a Ric enough as it was...

EagleMoon, you owe me a new keyboard...mine is full of drool.

That's one of the sexier basses I've ever seen.

 

Pics?
