Bender 4 Life Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Love my V !! It's Ebony, and the stock p'ups just SCREAM ! It looks just a tad plain though, with that massive white pickguard. Is there anywhere that sells pre mfr'd. Mother of toilet seat (pearloid) or Red MOTS (tortise shell) pickguards and TRC's ?? I chat with a tech. that can make them, but doesn't want to have to buy an entire sheet for just 1 guard...........so i'm looking for perhaps a company that does this regularly. Thanks in advance for any help y'all render. Heres a pic of it, in the stand I made for it for about $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elessar820 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 WD Music has them here. I got the pickguard for my Les Paul BFG here, they're well made and come in a nice selection of different materials. Brushed silver, tortoise shell or gold or silver mirror would look pretty sweet on an ebony V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brundaddy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 www.greasygroove.com/ Some of their stuff is real cheesy, but some is real cool (if only I could distinguish between the 2). A quick, cheap, n real easy makeover for pickguards is contact paper, that is if it's a pattern thing you want... check out my avatar<<<<<<<< PS, is there any difference between your V and whatever V preceded it or is it just a new & exciting model name for the same model? I was just looking at one in a catalog & wondered what the hell makes it "V-factor X" or whatever they call it. The one I saw looked like a good ol Flying V, same as it ever was!

I don't know if this was an early attempt to distinguish it from the "Faded" V or what the reasoning was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
