New Pickguard on the Sterling

[saxnbass]

Got my new pickguard in today, as some other stuff. Oh and the Wonder Wipes made it too. Here are pics of the Sterling, before and after pickguard. And Wonder Wipes pics. Oh, Sterling got a Wonder Wipes treatment while the pickguards were off (strings off, took black guard off, got WW treatment, abalone guard on, strings on) so you can also see the Wonder Wipes work's before (black guard) and after (abalone guard).

Beth, maybe this'll hold you over while the England pics are uploading.

Oooh Eric VERY nice!

That's a seriously classy combination

I was going to wait till Sunday to put it on, since that's my Sterling's birthday. It'll be 13 this Sunday (finally a teenager) LOL. I couldn't wait, so it was an early birthday present. lol

It looks beautiful, Eric! Fantastic choice!

That looks good buddy! I like that!
Now, use those wipes and make it shine!

 

[saxnbass]

That's as shiny as it'll get. It's really scratched up. I will work on it some more next week when my new strings get here.

I saw your black ice guard post. Looks good too.

I actually got to the Abalone cause of Azzy posting a link to here Sterling "Bobby" and then I photoshoped one of her pics to make it a black Sterling and I loved it. Then I photoshoped the knobs black and loved it even more, now it's real.

yeah........i tried the black knobs too.....psychicpet scored me a set but.........my son told me the Sterling was nicer with the chrome.

the black knobs are on his bass now.......*you think he planned that?*

I dig the all black look, but still very nice..

Looks good Eric, I like the abalone...... never thought of that color combo....

I know Stanky's Carbon Blue Pearl looks BREATH-TAKING with the abalone!

That's a mighty fine Sterling you got there buddy. Now quit taking pictures and play the thing!!!

There is something about abalone pickguard that just makes a bass snap. Well maybe not on Heinz

Yep, that it is. It's purpose is bass and guitar set-ups, repairs, etc.
