scottierocker Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ditch it.. and add some side pipes. Haha! I was thinking of adding the red light from the grill of Kit from "Night Rider" up under the pickguard. Then I could add the "whw whhw" air sound that Kit made!!

pohatu771 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Cosmetically, you should leave it off. For the sake of the finish (especially that one), I'd put a clear one on. Floating would also eliminate the bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroyama Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Agreed. Off, or transparent guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundMaster Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Haha! I was thinking of adding the red light from the grill of Kit from "Night Rider" up under the pickguard. Then I could add the "whw whhw" air sound that Kit made!! (j/k) Now that looks sharp. Excellent work! I like it better with the pickguard off. Maybe you should get a new truss rod cover and have it hot-stamped with "BAN-ONE" ...just watch out for Sheriff Buford T. Justice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I normally DO NOT like LP's without a pickguard. That is one of the few that needs to have it left off......the graphics should show. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aymara Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (and you could put entire gold covers on PUs) Definitely not, because it's much more unique as it is and full covers will reduce the bite those half open coils have. Ok, this is an old thread, but it's sooo beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
