Flying V Replacement Pickguard

Turk · 10-02-2008, 10:20 PM

I just purchased a 1975 Flying V and it has a replacement guard that isn't the best fit and it is too white. Has anyone used a WD creme, black, creme replacement pickguard?
As a side note I am thinking of loading the new guard with a 57 Classic and 57 Classic Plus. Has anyone used these in a V and if so what do you think?

WD stands for Wrong Dimension.

I use Chandler for mine.

Another reason the prices are getting ridiculous...

Call it what you want lying is lying and stealing is stealing...

You should be proud.

If it was fine, why did you trick them for a new one? And IMO it's not a trick, its deception; unethical whatever you call it.
