BUMP
When the first batch of BaCHbirds arrived I had a few pickguards made for a few fellow Dutch BaCHbirds owners.
I had the pickguard made from the stuff that you find on camping tables, sort of formica. Because I didn't like the standard three layer pickguard material, cause I thought it would look too thick.
After the pickuards were cut out I had them screen printed with a bird. But the ink wouldn't adhere. I rubbed it off with my fingers and the BaCHbird remained birdless.
But today I had a new pickguard made for a guy who is going to customize his BacHbird with two DarkStars. Just like that guy from Motorpsycho.
This time using the standard three layer stuff.
So I had one extra made for myself as well, because you can get two out of one plate. I askd the guy with the cnc machine to cut out the bird with a very thin router. And to keep it very shallow. So the middle black layer wouldn't be revealed.
Here's a close up of the engraved bird
Now comes the fun part! I took my son's paint kit. Brushed some acrylic black paint into the engraving.
And immediately wiped off the surplus.
Et voila! My new pickguard with self made bird-logo.
This one will never rub off
Can't believe how simple this was!
