Flash From The Past

I love my Sport - 3 single coils, trans blue.

It was my first EBMM so it will always have a special place in my heart.

I've changed the pickguard to pearl white & pickup covers to white now and it looks fantastic.

For the person that asked, yes, Chandlers do sell the guards still.

hey kids ;I actually drew the pickguard and dudley made it and we both loved it but customers bitched and we caved

I don't think you could have said it any simpler. That's a bummer when you have to can an idea that you liked.

And no screws attached- supergood.
How did ya fix it?
Maybe a solution for the Y2D pickguard packed seperately with the guitar and leave it to the buyer if he wants to install it.

What bridge is that on the silo?

NorM, looks like the MM bridge...if I remember correct, 1996 was the the last year that EBMM used the Wilkinson trem.

I really like my Sport too, though I can't really compare with other EBMM because it's the only one I own... Anyway, there's just something really nice to that simple, yet elegant design... no fancy top or bindings, just a pure Tone monster

How come there are no screws - whats holding it on dude?

I cant decide whether I love or hate the pickguard - I love the tone of my Axis Sport though.

I wasn’t about to drill holes, so I use a couple of very small pieces of double sided carpet tape. It is very thin and holds well. To protect the finish, I wax the area around the tape and remove it from time to time so the color won’t fade. Works great and I have not had any issues with the finish. The picture I submitted is not the best, the guitar is awesome and the pick guard in my opinion really sets off the guitar.
