Cool pickguard...

@ Dave: I rode thru Dundee last Thursday on the way to Glamis castle. I've really got to pay more attention, you live in a very pretty place.

Ha-ha, NICE one Freddy G. I did think I might be able to use it to hypnotise people. Either that or just blind them! "Give me your Bongos..."
And Yes, you are welcome to have a negative opinion, I can take it! It's not a SUB scratchplate/pickguard (I never realised there was a such a difference in "pronunciation") but actually a clear plexiglass guard I purchased from Mr. Bryan Boots. I figured I could get a clear one and then "play around" with some materials I could put underneath and therefore change "my look" at will!
This is some funky wrapping paper I came across at the weekend I figured I'd try out. My weekend "art project" if you willI couldn't find any paper with FLAMES on, but I'll keep looking for interesting prints and see what I come up with. Any suggestions would be more than welcome!

Ok....I'll say it. Now it looks like a SUB. (I know, somebody said it) Sorry, I like "none more black". Whatever you do, don't go "Martha Stewart" on us and put flowery contact paper under there.

I like it, but a cartoon lobster theme would be really nicer.
