Things have been busy at work and so haven't been able to forum crawl/ post as much. However, I managed to get a Wino (finally came back in stock) and have been playing it non-stop!!! I was skeptical at first, but having lived with it for a few weeks now, I've decided that it doesn't need any mods.

I've been using a sheet of cheap pearloid acrylic for rolling on for the last few months.
I finally got around to cutting into it and made a pair of matching pickguards for my Century Zenith and DeLuxe.
I wasn't a huge fan to start with but they're growing on me.

... and a short time later a more traditional Zenith shape.

Moto's not my thing, but somehow it works here.

How'd you attach the €'s? I've got this double sided tape I've been using for stuff around here that's amazing. Thin as Scotch tape and holds insanely well. It's also relatively easy to clean up. Supposedly it's used to secure laptop and cellphone screens in repair work.

Motos?

The Es are self adhesive but they'll pop off in a day or two and then I'll judiciously use some Ados adhesive.

Ah sorry Mother of Toiletseat. Kinda got fudged into any white / vintage style pearl pickguard regardless of swirl size.
Blue and black pearl don't seem to suffer from the terminology.

Between those and the fuzzy seat covers.... The 70's were weird in the U.S.

No idea what that is, but I'd try that tape.

Seriously. My mother had a bathroom set where she used the bath mat, toilet surround mat, toilet tank lid cover and seat lid cover.
It's somewhat traumatizing in retrospect. Not only because well ew, but it looked like she skinned Cookie Monster.

I swear to <insert deity of choice> if my brother had found a couple ping pong balls and a sharpie it might have thrown off my potty training, and I'd still be in therapy or the bin.

Thankfully, that never happened and I can laugh about the tackiness, but gawddamn!

EDIT: I went down the rabbit hole
It wasn't this exact set, but it was very similar

I like those Winos - a LOT. Other than the mis-matched pickups. If I were to buy a Wino, I would have to change the neck pickup to cover-less to match the bridge pickup. Other than that... I think it's a WINNER! Epiphone is producing exceptionally nice guitars at their high end, these days! Enjoy.
