It depends on the 'Bird. Gibsons have a hole that the pickguard hides.

My 2013 does not. It could go PG-less and only the screw holes would show.

I was referring to this quote, though....



That's where I'm questioning the time...


I shoulda quoted that the first time, but I was using my phone, and didn't feel like scrolling back to it.

No, I worked from home all day (Traynor cranking in the arvo) followed by a nap and then another full working day.

Oh... makes sense. I thought you were currently playing through the Traynor.

 

[godofthunder59]

, Looking forward to Scott's Classic IV Pro.

Soon grasshopper, soon.

Was on one of these all nighters playing acoustically while waiting around. Tha facilitator snapped 'would whoever's playing music stop it!' At least he recognised it as music.

 

[godofthunder59]

So basically a hit or miss buying one..?

I have them available , pm me for details .

We talked about this, Kat… you gotta mute the call.

Didn't know the mic was that sensitive.

(Probably said that last time a well)

It's not the mic... it's the Bird's... they are just that powerful.

Assuming they heard it over the call?

 

[Gaolee]

My 2013 does not. It could go PG-less and only the screw holes would show.

I'll have to look then. I know one of 'em does. I don't remember which one. After looking at it, I just assumed they were all the same. That's probably a bad assumption.

Crank it way up next time. That's always good for a laugh.

 

[kat888]

Well they must have. Just me and the Bird and a pick, playing scales iirc.

After making pickguards for 2 plus years for all the different models including NR's, here's what I've learned:

*Modern Gibson PG's will look right and sometimes the holes will line up on other modern Gibsons.

*Modern Gibson PG's will look right on Epi CP's but the holes will not line up.

*No Epi PG's of dissimilar make will fit on any other Epi model. IV's won't fit on Goths; won't fit on CP's; won't fit on Pro IV's and any other combo in reverse... they just don't have a crossover on their shape or screw locations.

*Also, the Studio PG's are an animal all unto themselves and is the most wrong looking PG in the flock.

@hillerup, the seller is selling these to fit modern Gibsons so I'd surmise that they will look good on your Classic Pros and your modern Gibsons. For your Epi's, you'd want to remove one of you Gibson or Epi CP PG's to do a trial fit to see if you could mount that PG onto your bass while covering the existing holes and having the PG on the horn where you'd like it to be.

...and yes, I have stopped making PG's.

This is a SERIOUS message to everybody reading my update right now.

Peace and love, peace and love.

I want to tell you, please, after the 19th of March do not refer anymore PG work.

Nothing will be considered after the 19th of March.

If that request or referral has a date on it beyond the 19th, it will not be made by me.

I'm warning you with peace and love but I have too much to do.

So no more PG requests.

Thank you, Thank you,

uhhh...

Anyway, peace and love, peace and love.

Apologies to Ringo.

So what I surmise from Larry's post is that every club member needs to inquire for at least two pickguards, in separate messages, starting today, the 20th.

Can we just send blank messages and later edit them to add requests for pickguards so that they are correctly backdated?

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Looks great! The cherry Bachs are some of the best looking!

Going back and forth on whether I should drill the pickup cover screw holes....would you?

 

[JJR58]

Soon grasshopper, soon.

Patience, lack i, oh master.

 

[TwyreZ]

I want 76' model pickguard for my VP.

For Information, Classic Pro and Vintage Pro have same screws holes.

Check with @godofthunder59. Not sure if he’s doing those or knows of a source.

I’m still selling vinyl graphics till my stock runs out, then I’m done with that end of the PG biz as well.

These are still available. PM me for info.

They’re not 100% authentic reproductions but from a few feet away, few would know the difference.

 

[georgiagoodie]

This is my second, nice compliment to all my 60's Thunderbirds.

..or two, or three, or N+1...
