Just a thought about Pickguards covering the Albert Lee, Silhouette and Morse guitars.

Albert Lee has alot of plastic covering the nice figured wood. When I look at the Albert Lee, I keep imagining it without the pickguard in how nice it would look.

Silhouette even in solid colours looks awesome without the pickguard. The Gold Roller and the Silhouette Bass Guitar are pickguardless. Has there been any thought to do the same with the Silhouette and the Silo Special?

Steve Morse guitar. Now i can understand his Morse Blueburst with a Black Pickguard. It's an Icon guitar. But what about the Morse Y2D? Clear pickguard? I think it would look epic for the Y2D to show all that beautiful top without looking at plastic. That was the one thing that held me back from buying a Y2D I played awhile back.

Picture the Axis sport with the old pickguard. Now I like that guitar to BTW, But compare it now to the old one with plastic that covered 2/3 of the body.

I have wondered if I could purchase a Morse Y2D without the pickguard holes being drilled into the body. I wonder if Steve Morse himself has ever had any thoughts about this. Thanks

I forgot to mention the 20th Silhouette. Different guitar with a pickguard.
I can`t imagine plastic covering Wonder Dogs Koa 20th

As the story goes, that was the original idea. But the way Steve picks has him resting his pinky on the pickguard as a reference point. Apparently Steve wanted the extra height, as he was used to the p/g on his #1, and that's how the clear p/g made it's appearance.

That does make sense. I often wondered with artist like Fogerty going through 15 guitars a show if that threw him a curve in how each one was so different. I think he favored the Music Man guitars though
