Pickguard for Sadowsky Modern

[engedi1]

I have a natural sadowsky M5-24 (metro) I completely love this bass, but I wish that it had a pickguard to give it a more retro look. Does anyone in TB land have any idea how to get one for a Modern? I know that you can't order on off of the Sadowsky website. Any tips appreciated!

I don't know much about Sadowsky's but if one of their other J-style guards will fit why not just attach it with double stick tape?

Pickguard attached with tape doesnt look right your going to also have to make faux screws so it looks like its screwed in...

We offer a small 1/2 guard for the 5-24. I will have it up on our store soon. But it does not have a vintage style look....really can't be done on that model.

Thanks for the help Roger! Always great to hear from you. After thinking about it, I realize that you couldn't do a vintage pickgaurd because of the knob layout. But a 1/2 size pickguard would be perfect. Since my bass is Natural Ash, I would really love to add some color to it, maybe a tortoiseshell PG would look cool. I'll keep checking the website and order one when I see it posted.

I think Roger might be saying "it's not a stocked item on the website, but if you call, we have them."

I might be mis-reading that though.
Call them, they're nice folks!

Will that 1/2 pickguard only available in clear or comes with other finish like pearl/black/tort?

We mostly do clear plexi but I also have tort and BWB.
