Chuffed to bits, it is way brighter than the original models (might not look like it on the picture).
Thanks for the link.

I’m glad it worked for you they are such a neat bit of kit!

I bought a pickguard...just because mine should have came with one but wasn't there when I got it. This is just placed on, not drilled anything.

Lol, don't worry I am not going to install it. I wanted to see what it looked like with one...but I kinda like it.

Honestly Raymond pop the pickup covers off of that and it'd be absolute perfection (optionally could go with zebra coils as well)

they do look better and if you're resting it on your knee to practise then fine but when you're playing live and smashing your guitar it was wise to put mine back on.

I guess it depends what kind of player you are? I play with plenty of feeling but have never felt that my pick is coming into contact with the part of the guitar that the pickguard is protecting (on an LP)... if anything the part of the guitar that takes the most wear from the pick is on the other side of the strings to the guard

I won't be installing it beyond what it is now and pick up covers are staying on
. TBH, I don't even know what colours the bobbins are underneath.It's hard to tell in photos with white balance difficult to juggle but the whites on the plastic are not quite matching. I bought the aged pickguard as the guitar is 20 years old except the aged plastic pickguard came with aging probably at the 60 year mark...so it's more yellow than mine. It's closer to the pokerchip than the pickup ring but also slightly different shade to the binding.

I have been distracting myself from lusting after Raymond's pretty guitar (without pick guard, obvs!) by trying to learn Slade's Christmas song. Sadly I do not have the vocal range of Noddy Holder, so I've had to transpose it so far down it's nearly up, which is forcing me to play Eb and Gsus4. And I'm not impressed.
It will no doubt do me good to be stretched. Serves me right for stress-raiding the Christmas Quality Street yesterday and being swept up in a moment of irrational premature festivity. At this rate I'll drop-Ding for Greg Lake by Monday and whistling Jingle Bells while I ice the Christmas cake.
Ho, ho, holy frick, I prefer songs made entirely using C, D, G and F!

New guitar alert: Ibanez JEM777DY
Picked up this 30th anniversary JEM. Sent it off to a chap that I use for setup and it came back yesterday. What an awesome shred machine... the yellow looks more fluorescent in the flesh, it’s definitely the epitome of the 1980s.
Only 777 made too

Normally I don't mind a pick guard on a LP. But, it's covering some nice grain here!

I'm GASing hard for that Fender Broadcaster. Curse you, @Raymond Lin !

Lol which level?
If you don’t? There is no doubt an reissue of the Nocaster next year, it’s the anniversary for it. Or the year after.

The cheapest one which is still quite eye watering in cost. This is true, you're right, next year will see the nocasters likely.
