So i commissioned Emblems NZ to Make a pick guard in Gloss black/white.

Wasn't really loving the Sparkly Glittery gold guard. :lol:

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I clicked on this thread expecting to see a belly route and relicing.

Pickguard swap is a much better idea though.

about $100

Artwork/Machining + material.


I figure it's pretty fair considering what it costs to get one from Doozy themselves.

Yeah thats fair - not "cheap" but for a custom job which would take design plus the actual making of the thing that's really great.

Seemed a lot but then I guess that's what one-off stuff costs. Certainly looks the business.

yeah - on the plus side now - if anyone wants a Starplayer TV guard made by Emblems NZ - they should now have a Vector file for it so you shouldn't have to pay the Artwork haha.
