H Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm the one who put it on. But when my two femine influences both told me its too girly and to remove it, that takes your idea out. Keith Richards played (maybe still plays) a Hummingbird for years. It has a large, elaborate, pinkish pickguard with a hummingbird and flowers on. Is he cool or girly?

DetroitBlues Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 It appears the original pickguards are black, so I'll just look for a plain jane black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrymclark Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I thought KBP snagged it as he pm'd Brent about it right away. Or did he broker it for you in exchange for all the free PR you give him? I think this is a different one. I believe the one Brent is selling is more dressed up.

Steiner Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hey Blues, I have an original pickguard if you want to copy the standard design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hey Blues, I have an original pickguard if you want to copy the standard design. Get a signwriter to cut one for you from three-ply (black/white/black) signwriter's plastic. I've done this in the past with Rickenbackers I've modified.

602a Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 My wife told me to take that off and use something else. Bummer. Question is, what should I use? The original pattern seems a little hard to find. I thought about a Guild like pickguard... Anything but That Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thank you! Of course my wife won't believe me when I say I got two for the price of one! BTW, Did you notice the computer monitor in the background? I just saw this comment and had a look at the computer monitor - there's my little pug - so funny! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hey Blues, I have an original pickguard if you want to copy the standard design. That sounds like the best idea yet. I can still see the original pickguard outline as welll as its first replacement. Putting an original shaped one back on would be ideal to me. But I think the 1st replacement was on there longer because it left a mark as well that extends beyond the original's footprint.... The Dove pickguard actually covers all of it.... I just played Brian's yesterday he picked up from Brent over the weekend. Looks great without a pickguard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
