Thanks Markus. That helps a lot. I'm leaning towards the JOs to try first.
Glad I can help! Let me know what you think!

I checked out their site and didn't see any lakland guards?
That's the downside I guess. All guards they do are pretty mcuh custom cut so you need to send in the original guard or a tracing.
Since Jeannies is the Lakland guard maker they have accurate templates. However with an early one like you have even using Jeannies I would consider sending that guard in because I think they are not 100% the same as the newer ones since Jeannie started supplying Skyline guards.
Choice Asay no.....

this WOULD be choice B if it weren't a ballet move

I'd try his suggestions, and then offer your opinion backed up by rational thought and logic.
There's a reason you're bringing your bass and style to the session, but there's also a reason he'll make suggestions. Try them and be objective.

I prefer the triangle choke, or possible arm bar

are you leaving with a lakie? Will it be the same lakie?
Did you check out the fretboard on it?
Aaron is no longer OCD about 3TB w/ black PG...
He's now OCD about LPB w/ BnB necks, matching headstocks and white pearl PGs.
Interesting point, never thought of that. Has anyone had an issue with a new pick-guard from Jeannies on an older Skyline?
