Augustus Strikes Again...

Looks pretty good. Since you're making a custom pickguard, you should try to make one that fits the bottom horn better, so the jag-stang looks less retarded.

what colors would you offer if you set up shop, d00d?

I'm like a street walking hooker...you can have anything you want, baby! 😁

Good scheme. Wishing you good luck marketing the pickguards.

But, now that I have a good, working idea of how this works, I'm going to invest in some proper tools and set up shop to make and sell pickguards.
Replacements and customs. 😁

make me a mustang pickguard for my cyclone please.

Once I get a good bead on where to get pg material, I'll give everyone a quote, and you'll need to send a tracing of your pg and some money. I'll let you (and everyone else) know. 😁

That's the way normal people write dates: Day, month, year.

yes, but we don't buy into your more logical dating or metric systems. go sell crazy somewheres else.

Not trying to steal augs thunder but here's my attempt at correcting the lower horn of the pickguard.

Because of the nature of the original guard you need to take a fair bit off, so ideally would like another with the the few mm added all over on the lower horn downwards.

johnniespring

yeah the guard needs to be redesigned so it fits better.

Aug

ok...so what do I do about the screwhole, then? If I move it, that's fine, unless you want to put the original back on, at some later date...then you'd have a visible screwhole. Also, If I do make the pickguard match up better, and use the existing screwhole, then it'll look off. 😕

Ideas?

johnniespring

move the screwhole. don't change back to the original guard that looks wrong.

The whole guitar looks wrong.

i like the jagstang. i just think the guard should have been made to fit better.
