Yes.
I saw the picture but I didn't look close. It looks like a drill press vice bolted to a bowling ball sitting inside a small tire.
Talk about ingenuity!

So, are they color filled at Bozeman, or . . . ?
Yes.

Hi damnyankee,
Could you give details on how the pickguards are currently made?
Thanks,
Dan
Yes, they are injection molded. I asked Gibson and I think it's ok to say this. I mold parts for Gibson.
That being said, please, don't anyone even think about trying to get me to sell to them directly.
I just ran several Hummingbird pickguards. The engraving is in the mold and somewhere on this site
is a picture of the lady that hand paints them. I call that color filling ( I also do laser engraving)
and we color fill all the time.

I'm new here so I expect to be flamed...
The J-200 and the Hummingbird pickguards are injection molded for the TV models.
I do not know how they were done in the past but I sure know how they are done now.

It's nice to see knowledgable people. I hope to learn from you all.
Another thing to look at is the neck binding, it's molded from a solid piece
on a real Montana made J200. This one looks like binding overlapped.

Aren't they injection molded?

There are a couple types of pickgurds. The tortoise ones are not the ones that are injection molded.
The ones I mold for Gibson are going to be translucent and solid in color. They will be the ones
that are colorfilled and not printed on the outside.
