A black guard's an idea, a clear one won't work because of the routing underneath.
Well, he has some nice basses, but he has to be punished because of that guard. Well let's invite him over here and let's ask Ken to write a story about squirrels he HAS to read as punishment.
Curiously enough, neither the Epi Reg Bird nor the Elitist have that routing though their control set-up is similar. I only found that out when I took the pickguard off from both of them recently. Oh yeah, and the deleted Blackbird didn't have the route either. No idea what's lurling underneath the new NS Sig TB, but Mark should know when he "aluminumized" his.
