Title: Bicentennial PickGuard in house!
Post by: Denis on October 12, 2018, 10:18:29 AM: After searching off and on for years for a real '76 PG for my Fenderbird, this one popped up suddenly on Andy's Thunderbird FB page.
It's in my hands now!

Why do you need a real '76 PG for a Fenderbird?

It would be really cool if they did. Little details like that are really cool.

Because mine is a '76 Thunderbird that suffered a catastrophic neck break in NYC in the '70s and was subsequently turned into a Fenderbird.
