I see your point, that looks fantastic!
Yeah, and you'd see even more on the Coda because there's no control plate.
Kind of like the Allevas:

I guess. But it just seems so empty.
You can still see most of the quilt with a guard like this.

It's cool man. Too each their own. Personally I never liked the pickguards. Here's a shot of the only Fender I ever owned...

I like'em like that. Wish I could get that Coda.
You know you want it JEFF....something to add to the collection! I still wouldn't cover it as well but like you said others seem to like guards and to each there own.


I like the colour scheme, but I think with the size of the bodies on these, they need something to add contrast. Otherwise it looks like a sea of quilt & colour. There's still tons of the quilt that would show, too.
Working on a bunch of new music for the new year with a few different bands, here's an EP from a year or two back with some of my studio buddies...recorded with my upgraded Spector Rex through a variety of Tech 21, Aguilar & Darkglass gear, definitely some of the meanest tones I've ever had![]()

I'll have some newer stuff up soon...

OH, I do. But Todd's shipping my fretless neck out tomorrow and the Legend arrives tomorrow so I've got that project going to distract me.![]()

Thanks for the kind words Spector brothers!
I just uploaded another EP that I recorded with a different group a month or two ago: https://soundcloud.com/matthew-the-bass-player/sets/after-life-ep
I'll be getting to some new demos next![]()
For my next build I'm going with two 35Ps in an NS4. I'm liking the Pup sound. I had a BC Rich once with two P-pups and it sounded great.

HUMMM...that one won't boot up for me.
It's working fine for me, feel free to give it another try if you're so inclined

Works great, sounds great! Really like the bass and instrumentals on both along with the vocals on the second one. Can't wait to hear more!
