Code Red started a thread a couple weeks ago, and it really blew my mind what he did with the Telly (style 2) pick guards. I'm probably in the minority here, but I like my style 2 better than both my Style 1 HSS San Dimas (Trans Kandy Gold), and a So Cal that I traded in. For some reason, the Style 2s caught my eye when I first discovered the pro mods a while back. I love the way they look, and maybe it's just me, but they sound a little cooler (in my opinion of course) too. So needless to say, I'm a bit partial, and when I saw someone made a custom pick guard for these guitars, I was floored. It was the one thing that I really thought was missing from the guitars to begin with.
Anyway....when I saw what Red did with his Style 2s, I had to have one of those pick guards. Well...I can tell anyone out there now with a Style2...this is the guy to do business with. He's a stand up guy and it was a pleasure doing business with him. I just got my own custom pick guard....this one is black and it works perfect with the polar white Telly...I installed it tonight. It actually was easier than I thought. - I will say, in his recommended instructions on how to install for dummies (me = dummy)...he said it should be start to finish about 20 minutes. Well...that usually means multiply that by about 10-15, and that's what it will take me. In this case, it wasn't that bad. Much easier than installing that big brass block from Floydupgrades.com.
In the end, I couldn't be happier with the result. The transaction and communication was perfect...I got this thing within 2 or 3 days of paying Red...so here are the pics. I'm throwing in some pics of my San Dimas HSS. I added a pickup ring...this time I picked the right color (black)
So thanks Red for getting this thing to me and giving me the coolest mod so far. I even threw in some gold screws just for good measure. I highly recommend the upgrade. Hope you like the pics.
