Wasn't there someone on Offset that was scanning and printing original tort onto acetate or the like and layering it on a plain guard ? Not you ? They look great btw. Yes there was a guy doing that and no it wasn't me. I guess it just wasn't working like he wanted and he gave up I think. He got a t...

I am fully torted up with vintage guards but would be interested if I had some modern tort. Do you have the process protected? maybe fender custom sho...

You know my first guitar was a super cheap Squire Affinity series and to be quite honest with you it was actually a pretty solid good guitar. The neck actually felt pretty good and never had a problem with anything else. The pickups were the only thing kind of different. They are a little more dull ...

Worst case scenario you could just get yourself some new switches for a couple bucks. Usually they come with the screws too. I was looking for ya and didn't seem to find anything. You might want to look around on Allparts and EYGuitarMusic.com.

HNB man Im digging your green Jag there. You think that would look good with a deep dark burgundy tort? Maybe not bright red, but a dark red. I love your Lack Placid Blue too. Nice paint jobs.

It looks like Custom Shop is sticking their greedy little hands into everything now-a-days. We were better off without you Custom Shop. You're just too darn expensive.

Custom shop is like losing our best friend(Fender) to his' high maintenance girlfriend(CustomShop).
