My hideous new pickguard!

[solderjunkie]

I bought a half-sheet of this cellulose abalone 4-ply material from a supplier in China and I made a new 'guard for my SR5 with it this morning. The stuff is a little difficult to work (low melting point, so it gets gummy) but the results are pretty fantastic!

I think it looks very cool....

Thank you!

If you look at some of the pickguard sites (Pickguard Heaven, Pickguardian, etc...), you can buy one in "tiramisu". It's a very similar look but with more orange and red.

Frickin cool!

Tiramisu looks like this with a Dargie.

I don't suppose you have any more of that beautiful ugliness and a desire to make a Bongo pickguard with me sending you one for a template.

Wow, the thread title grabbed me from the slinky string guitar side. That pick guard looks fantastic. Great work. Cheers, C.

I only bought a 9 x 15 halfsheet, since I wasn't sure the color would jive. The company is EY Guitar Parts and it takes about 3 weeks to your door from China.

If you order 2 pieces and send them my way along with your template, I'll chop one into a 'guard for you.

Very ugly

 

[bovinehost]

I am so very, very jealous.

 

[KevinM]

That is really cool but it's making me dizzy

 

[solderjunkie]

Very ugly

Totally... 100%

I am so very, very jealous.

I'm humbled that you are jealous... I've seen your toys!

That is really cool but it's making me dizzy

I can't stop looking at it. The pics don't capture the opalescent areas very well, even though I shot several angles in indirect sunlight. They shimmer in pink, blue and gold

Sounds like a plan. Shoot me your address in a PM, please.

Splendid PG, perfect match, ...great work!

 

[njhammer]

Hideous. I love it!

 

[fly]

that is freakin' awesome man.......nicely done

 

[solderjunkie]

Thanks!

Here is a "before and after":

 

[MadMatt]

Solderjunkie, I must say that PG makes the Dargie look really good! I've seen Tiramizu on a DDII that did not look bad but that color you found really does it justice!
