Members Lump Posted May 14, 2010 Members Share Posted May 14, 2010 I've got a clown burst Agile 3000 wide that I really love the way it plays and sounds, but just can't stand the looks. I've never liked binding and the white pickup rings are just fugly. I decided that maybe I could class it up a bit with a custom pickgaurd. I can't see moving away from the cream look just because nothing would really match the binding and look....harmonious. Figured maybe I could use the cream gaurd that it came with and use that as a base template (so everything lines up correctly) and maybe change the look of it, maybe like a miniture version of a Taylor acoustic pickgaurd using cream white pearloid. Dang the only sheet I can seem to find it around 45 bucks. GFS has blanks of just about everything but cream pearloid for around 11 bucks. Is cream harder to make, i just don't see it aroud much. White pearloid really wouldn't work, to bright, it would match the binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lump Posted May 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2010 I appriciate that link!!! Nice. I'm going to pass on the one your have clubber, I want to try and do something a little different than the standard. I've got a couple of ideas for the gaurd to try and make it a little more distinct and less like a Les Paul rip off. The link listed above should be enough to be able to do the back covers also.
