^ That counts! and Tumbao, that is one sweet bass. Did you paint it, get it painted, or bought it like that?

Home made. Maple wood laminate over original pickguard.

How 'bout birdseye maple with a bloodwood pinstripe?
Dear god, that's an awesome bass! but right cool pickguard too
I was hoping someone would post a tooled leather pickguard on an old Tele bass
Where can I get one? I'd do that, though my Tele bass ain't old.
It was made for me by Jacob Marchlewski (Pensacola, Florida area). The design was penned by Wolfehollow (TBer). Do a search on Marchlewski and you'll see the original Wolfehollow design as well as several other basses Jake did. After a flurry of highly customized orders, Jake seems to have taken some time off. Don't know if he's back building or not now.
This is a picture of Jake (Marshall shirt) and Wolfehollow with the first bass Jake built for him, a 4 string fretless. Note the resemblance to my 5 string.
Peace,
James
Not a custom pickguard, it's actually stock - but they didn't make this model of ATK300 very long and I don't see many of this type around, even here on TB. So it's kinda unique. I didn't like it much at first, but it's grown on me.
