    They look very cool Cade, US $35 + postage wow that's getting up there !
    The shapes look very similar to me other than a longer extension toward the top horn. Is it worth trying to print an image on paper with the bottom side sticky and try and stick the image on your current pickguard and trim it to size ? Only problem it will probably get ripped up with use and abuse of a bass player

    EDIT this is the one I had seen before, great 3D effect

    I'm considering ordering vinyl die-cut auto decals. Should be more dureable then trying to print/laminate but probably worth a go before I take the risk of buying something pricey.

    Thanks for the info about pickups Andrew. I wasn't going to upgrade hardware at this stage so I might wait until a future build.
