Cool looking designs, have been admiring these for years. But having the 'pick guard' in a place that picks don't strike, just for visual reasons, bugs me.

But I hope it doesn't bug everyone and he sells a lot of them.

Personally, I never intended them to be actual 'pickguards' and have usually refered to them in the past as 'faceplates', or....when I'm feeling especially pretentious and artsy-fartsy..a 'styling element'. The last time I actually got any practical use out of a traditional pickuard anyway, was back in my folky, Harmony Sovereign days when I was flailing out the chords of Dylan songs.

Btw, congrats! Ill look at these when next in rhe market.
It really was kind of by accident (economics more than anything), but I realized recently that my MIK guitars rival my MIJ guitars in terms of quality. As long as the right factory is doing these, I expect great things!

Congrats to Bruce and John!!! thumb.gif

the oversimplified answer is, the first 25 guitars (of each of the 3 versions, for a total of 75) are 500.00 each + shipping.. after those sell then they are 600.00 + shipping.
also, this offer is limited to the day count you see on the Kickstarter site.
