LOVE the sticker! The refit Constitution is my favorite design. Where did you get it?

Re: Dumped gold guard from 40th Anv. Squier JM
I found an overhead image of the ol' gal, turned it into a silhouette, and added the lines, all inspired by Decoboom's "Rockets Away". Then I bought some adhesive vinyl and went over my best friend's house to use her Cricut.
It also ended up on the Banshee that Doug Kauer built for Puisheen.

Those black guards all look really great.
I'm guessing these EY guards are spec'd for "standard" 73mm-ish Jazzmaster bridge post spacing?
My SqJMJM has 74mm post spacing and the AOM-style bridge posts, so I suspect it'd be just a hair off from working as a direct replacement.

Yeah, standard JM pickguard setup. Same with their plastic guards (which, BTW, their mint is DAMN close to the AVRI Fender mint) but either way if you have to file a touch it'll be under the bridge (bipedal2 wrote: โFri Jan 12, 2024 7:08 amThose black guards all look really great.

It really does gain a vintage look, more than the gold guard does (ironically).

Re: Dumped gold guard from 40th Anv. Squier JM
Admittedly I stole the general idea from Decoboom's "Rockets Away" but I wanted the refit Constitution class Enterprise instead of a generic rocket, so I designed it and got my best friend to cut it out of adhesive vinyl with her Cricut.electric__ralph wrote: โMon May 13, 2024 4:06 pmI have absolutely no interest in a black pickguard.
Never mind, I badly want to steal this idea. I love that ship as well as how subtlety awesome your design is.
