Sandy has etched about 100 items for me not counting providing samples when we were prototyping product and it has been my experience she is very reasonable.

Finally got around to taking a photo of the Fenderbird with the NOS Bicentennial pick guard added.
Technically, I like to think it should be the one with '76' in the eagle's tail (since the pots are all '76 pots) but it's what I could do at the time. No WAY would I pay for the pickguard on eBay  right now.

I like it with the tiny bit of color the red/white and blue eagle adds. :)

I agree with the color.  It is a nice compliment. . . .I like it much more on this bass than the original dark ones.

Here's a shot I saved of a 70s pickup's innards - I think it was "slinkp" that shared this photo:



You can see the sidewinder config - sorta like a mudbucker,  but not as overwound...


Yup, that was mine. I since sold it to dadagoboi.  Hey Carlo, did you ever get that re-wound?

I sent it to Steve, turned out to be bad lead wire and he fixed it.  That was lucky, he said there would have been no way to remove the bobbins from the epoxy without destroying them.  Haven't put it in a bass yet.
