I got the material (Thanks for the tip Dave) delivered Mon. I should have some guards done by late next week.

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

Well I have the blanks cut to shape and beveled. Next I have to cut the hole for the pickup.If you want to see the "finished" pickguard pm me. I also have reverse guards coming.

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?

Shot me a email (tbird66@rochester.rr.com) if you would like a picture of the finished guard.

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.
