Bongo content...custom cartoon pickguard.

[RaginRog]

With my Bongo being silver...and it already having a unique appearance, I came up with a "space theme" for it.

My wife was nice enough to draw it up, and color it for me. After it was done, I went to FedEx Office and had the original copied. The pickguard is a Chandler pickguard...perfect fit.

The Russian nesting dolls idea came to me because when I was younger I would always play with the ones that my godmother had. I happened to mention this in conversation with my mother-in-law a few months ago, and she surprisingly bought me a very nice one for Christmas, that she purchased from a Russian community in the UK.

....and no...I don't have a lick of Russian in me.

I vote for the custom one. I love stuff that adds your personal touch like that to the instrument!

Thats awesome, but playing at church I need that other pickguard! If only it was a HH! ha!

Thanks Jack...I figured you'd like it...especially with having the "fat lady" on your one Bongo...and that custome painted "other brand" bass.

Thanks Andy...she just finished telling me it was a fun project...but she's sad it's over. I may have to get me another!

Rog,

Your wife is an artist ! That looks awesome. I love the mix of the astronauts with the nesting dolls. Kinda' makes a guy think about the Freudian implications ...... or not! Whatever I think it is a great upgrade for sure..
