Thinking of putting a clear guard on my Bongo

[mynan]

What do you think?

Also, I would appreciate any suggestions on where to obtain one.

Try it with a clear one. You can always swap it back if you don't like it.

 

[oli@bass]

I think that would look very nice!

 

[fidooda]

try it!

Brown tort would be smokin' on that finish, something to consider.

I'm going to build a clear gaurd for mine too. I 'll be changing the background print under the p/g as I please..........because I can't leave well enough alone.

I'm voting clear. I have a blue dawn bongo 5 that I'm going to try a clear guard on soon, and when my cabernet bfr bongo 5 comes in it will probably get a clear guard too. I tried emailing Dazbootman about some guards but I never got any replies. I ran across this place called Chandler Guitar and they offer pickguards in many materials. They also have a phone number and you can talk to somebody on the phone. All you have to do is google them and the info is not hard to find.

It's a clear choice!

i would normally say clear but didnt someone put a gold swirl on the stank burst bongo which just looked amazing !

 

[DTG]

nope i take that back it was a 2006 le not the 2008

The black pickguard offers a contrast, so I voted leave it.

I have a clear on my Stingray (Burnt Apple) and one of my Bongos (Sapphire Black) and they look awesome! Go clear!

Got mine from Bryan Boots

New Clear Plexi Music Man Sterling Pickguard! - eBay (item 270342645977 end time Mar-12-09 01:29:01 PDT)

At the time he did not have a Bongo 4HH pickguard, so I sent him mine and he made a template out of it, sent it back to me with the clear PG and now he is able to make them. I don't know if he has any for Bongo 5HH. If not then contact him and do like I did. I am very happy with my pickguards. He does excellent work.

A poll? I'd say mirror gold with LEDs inset around the edges.

 

[mynan]

Nice!

 

[laneline]

Hey, nice job looks great !!

 

[RocketRalf]

Not bad, but I prefer the original look. Props for trying it, if you like it more, keep it.

 

[silverburst]

Huh. I think it looked better before.
