Amazing what a few pieces of black plastic can do!
The other day, I bought some black plastic for my baby, just to experiment a little with it's look. Thought I'd share the pictures
 - Thomann toggle ring - Gibson Les Paul Custom pickguard - Dimarzio tall mounting rings - Black reflectors

Nice guitar. What is a JCM 800 "Bass Series"? For bass? Never heard of it. I have a 1983 JCM 800 2204 myself.

It's a very aggressive sounding amp when overdriven, and due to it being a bass amp, it can produce an insane amount of bottom end if needed

Re: Amazing what a few pieces of black plastic can do!
It would really be cool to see a "before" pic of that guitar. That is a beautiful top.
I think the black plastic looks the best on a dark back guitar like yours. I don't think the black plastic looks quite right on a goldtop but I saw them on a dark back goldtop and for some odd reason they looked much better. |
