you know that computer that lets you see how a hair cut will look on you before you even get one? well i bought one of those to help design a pick guard. with the help of carrie sweet, and an awesome computer, this is my mock up. notice the sensual curves. this is no mistake. the pick guard is like the nipple tassel to an otherwise nude guitar. the pick guard covers up just the right amount of body, leaving what's behind it to your imagination. lets take it one step further and throw some make believe hardware on this piece.

that's the right stuff. so now it's off to find pickguard sheeting and a way to cut the pattern out.
