It always makes me wince when someone wants to add a pickguard to a nice top LP. Pains me even worst to see they still drill most of them at the factory to fit one.
The guy that designed it surely was a D student at the design school. Or maybe just couple of bored Friday night employees. I can hear them:
- Hey Jack, what's that scrap piece of plastic sticking out from under the mill there ?
- Uh ... dunno.
- Well, pick it up dumb ass.
- OK OK, don't get on your high horses, here it is.
- Hey, what you say we try to fit it on that guitar over there and put it in the showroom, to see if Monday morning when the boss comes in, he notices anything ?
- Won't fit ...
- Here gimmie that X-Acto knife and file. I'll make it fit.
- Duh ... that looks goofy, but so is the boss ... gna gna.
What if Antonio Stradivari was played the same joke ?
