My offset lovelies.

I see an Allparts guard in my future.

Thanks!

[CLETUStheFETUS]

you guys have any ideas to cut off the hum a little bit? or is it a hopeless battle we will all have to learn to embrace?

[Sauerkraut]

It's just one of those red tortoise pickguards.

Meaning a pickguard from a vintage Jazzmaster?

All I've seen for aftermarket pickguards is that ugly brown tortoise shell.  I can't stand it.

Well he already said it, but yeah, allparts guard, not vintage. They're similar if not the same as the ones usually found on early mij/cij guitars.

if you're referring to the bright red guards on older MIJ models you're wrong, allparts guards look a lot better than those.

I've not seen the allparts in person, but yeah it's not like I said the word SIMILAR, or anything...

Agreed.

Of all the reproductions I've seen, the Allparts guards get the closest to the original tortoise shell.

I am SO glad that this thread came along.  I don't think I ever would have checked with them.

Nah, not pissed off. Well maybe I was, but I don't think so.
