Rhodes Custom Pickguard/Cavity cover

[Nev]

I made a few of these pickguards/truss covers and wanted to know what some of you thought about them. I used some steel wool to give it that "used" look. The pinstriping is also added, got it from a auto parts store. It's adhesive and comes right off.

Hate to nitpick, but on a Jackson forum, you'd think that this word would never get misspelled.

Rhodes was the guy in Duran Duran...

[KBRR]

Good effort but i would put it back to stock.

Hush, don't tell people you know that. :ROTF:

That guitar looks brilliant, I dont understand the comments here. So you didn't spell the guys name right, but you managed to make a standard guitar look like something very different and very cool. Three replies, only one even bothers to mention your guitar and the other is derogatory without being constructive in any way whatsoever?

I think it looks fantastic. Why put it back to stock, when every Tom, Dick and KBRR has a stock RR model?

Fucking nice job. I'd like to do the striping in red myself if I knew how.

I did mention I was nitpicking.

However, a large part of this forum is about education. Can't get more grass-roots educational than spelling the model of the guitar you're trying to talk about correctly.

It's just a pet peeve of many on this forum. Some may even go as far as to take it as a slant against Randy Rhoads himself.

The guy's new, he's respected Randy enough to buy a Rhoads guitar and even tried to upgrade it a bit, yet you never even commented on what he'd done with it. All you did was correct his spelling, as if that matters.
Not everyone buys a RR model because of Randy Rhoads - some people just like the design, or maybe they saw someone else like Dan Spitz playing it.

I think it's pretty poor when a guy puts so much work into a project and asks for comments and all he gets is advice on how to spell, especially when it really does look good.

Maybe Nev will get into Randy Rhoads as a result of his guitars and this forum - I am. Who cares how he spells the name?

i don't like black with white bevels tbh and i don't think the white goes with the pickguard

[anuske9]

the truss rod cover looks cool, the pickguard looks off-center (any reasons?), and the pinstriping looks more like a bevel, I would take that off.

If you didn't just come out of the turnip patch, you'd realize that this isn't the first thread where someone was corrected someone else on how to spell the model of the guitar. It's all over this forum. So put down your jousting stick Don Quixote. This is bigger than you.

I think the diamond plating looks sweet!

[Nev]

Point taken, I have made the corrections. Jesus...lighten up.
Thanks for the comments on the guitar. I knew that it wouldn't appeal to everyone. Like the previous post mentioned, I wanted it to be different than every other RHOADS out there. I cut it to the exact specs of the original cover. ADMIN EDIT: only sponsoring dealers may offer products/services to the board.

I did put some levity in it Nev, what the hell do you think the Duran Duran comment was about?

Jeezus, you newbies need to just kick back and read the tone of the forum before you post.

Hey! Sweet Guitar!! The pinstriping is sweet, and so is the pickguard...just not on the same guitar.
If they were on separate guitars, it would be wicked!!
