Multi-color aluminum pickguards

Post by Hyphen Nation » Thu Sep 18, 2014 9:05 pm

I posted something from these guys in another thread a while back, but thought it was interesting.

I am still new-ish here, so I don't want to be too spammy. I won't be offended if a mod deletes this. I haven't gotten anything from them, but I am tempted to get the raw aluminum strat knobs for a parts build I am doing.

The nobs aren't perfect [witch hats would be] but they should work for the vibe of this guitar:

Wish they had jaguar ones. I wonder what black aluminum would look like on a surf green telecaster... !

Oh, cool! This has supposedly been in the works for quite a while. I'm stoked.
This is an excellent rectangle

I hope they can do the pickup covers with no holes a la Mustang covers. That would be seriously cool.

Yeah, it's a lot to ask a small shop, but I would love it if they made witch hats or Tele deluxe knobs.

Eden on eBay makes some nice anodized guards. Not as many colors but they have colors so maybe they could do something special if you ask. Their quality is good from my experience. (2 Jazzmaster guards)

Cool colors, digging the pickup covers and knobs too. No hole covers would be awesome though. I've been thinking about doing a gold guard on my sunburst Mustang. Aluminum would be great but haven't found anyone that can or is willing to do it. Maybe I'll try emailing them. :)
