Coral red StingRay pickguard

[elvisdog]

Have a Coral Red StingRay HH, maybe a 2016? Before the roasted necks, anyway. I've gotten it to where it plays and sounds great & I'm playing it quite a bit. The only thing I dislike about it is the pick guard, plain white, kind of cheap-looking and boring. Has anybody swapped in a pearl guard? Care to share a picture? Other thoughts? Thanks!

Seconded with Glenn for WD -- a girlfriend had a custom painted one commissioned for me from WD and I love it. (Enough that I almost want to trade the Ray for another color to better compliment it lol). They do fine work. I also had a custom pink mirror made from a tracing for an HSS Cutlass I had for a minute.

I thought about it! My father and I refinished a few guitars back in the day and I've thought about getting back into it. Its a PITA for all the space and prep work needed though. Maybe I can out-source it just for this one!

Marty is semi-retired now. He is slowly losing his sight and is only taking on a small number of jobs.

Ah bummer that’s a shame to hear, looks like he does great stuff. I’ll try reaching out but won’t get upset if he can’t do it. Thanks for the recommendation Glen and Kev.

Sad to hear that about Marty. He refinished my old Sub1 in that gold color that you see on his "Traditional" gallery on his website.
