Nice! Custom wooden pickguards! Not a fan of the controls knobs but hey, they're JH's guitars, not mine, right?

Beautiful! I wonder where he got those pick guards. Normally I'm not a fan of the way pick guards look but these seem to enhance the guitars.

My guess is the pick guards were made by EBMM. I really like them.
A little bit more info from FB.
"D. ALLEN Johhny Blades run through a Martin six string customs, "Johnny harness". No Bardens at all. Pickguards and knobs are also from Martin Six String Customs."
"Now, to make them even better, Johnny uses a custom switching setup and pot/cap arrangement in his Martin Six String Customs Johnny Harness.
For the switching, pos #1, bridge, #2, bridge and middle, #3, bridge and neck, #4 middle, #5 neck.
For his harnesses we use slightly hotter 250k pots with very tight tolerances. The tapers are also as even as it can get. Caps are N.O.S. USA paper in oil.depending on guitar, they are a .05MF or .1MF"

Seems funny that Johnny would choose highly figured stuff. He's legally blind, you know.

I love the one on the left! I have a set of Johnny Blades...... Now I just need that model to put them in. ;-)

Anyone know if those particular 24 fret necks are available to everyone? Or are they just made for Johnny, since he prefers the large fret markers?

I think the large makers are for JH only but the normal ones work and yea those PG's work.
