Title: Bridge and pickup covers
Post by: the mojo hobo on August 06, 2012, 09:50:49 AM

Bridge and pickup covers have a certian aesthetic appeal that just doesn't work when the covers are mounted backwards or in the wrong place. Both on ebay at this moment.

I agree, but I'm not going to cast the first stone.  I once mounted a bridge cover on an early P-clone and didn't notice for a week that I had it on upside down.

The Homer Simpson moment comes to all of us.
