Using my acute powers of perception, I predict a sudden surge in orders of repro NR pickguards...

Don't know why my pictures are fuzzy, new camera must have pushed something I shouldn't have.  ???

I do like the yellow post-it on the non-rev one I must say. Gives it that special incognito touch. Thunderwho????  8) :-X

Well I didn't make the cut for the first 50 Bachbirds, so I'll be holding off on my pickguard order. They look great though!

I may contact them and try to get a "bare bones" model. I've got late model pickups, NOS chrome covers and rings, and a truss rod cover ready for a home.
