Long overdue post!!
I want to show off this nifty pickguard that I have on my H-137 DC. The HOC's very own Cryoman came up with the cool boomering-like design and he was kind enough to fashion one and send it to me. So big thanks t o you, Cryoman! I love it!
I love this guitar, too, BTW! It's on my never-sell list, for sure. I honestly don't think this guitar has a bad sound in it. Most people seem to prefer the single cut version of the 137, but I've always preferred the DC with its round-bottomed, short-horned, Melody Maker-like shape. Even with the short upper horn, I find this particular model, at least, to be well-balanced when I play standing up. The chunky, '59-style neck contour quickly became my favorite after I acquired this H-137. If I ever take up playing slide guitar, this guitar will be what I do it on.
Anyway, I thought it would look cool with some sort of black accent on it and Cryoman's retro-futuristic pickguard really does the trick, imo. Thanks again, Pete!
