bummer Ponch, so no chance of finding it now.
Back in the late 80's car alarms were probably only hitting the market.
An angry dog in the van would have saved it !

ahh yeah wokka the pickguard can be removed, it says on the page though that its pre fitted which means the holes for the screws will already have been drilled, and so youd probs have to fill them and take extra care when staining so you cant see them!
thats what i was meaning, not that it was like glued to the body or anything like that haha
oh ok got you Ben, gee the factory make some rash decisions to pre-drill pickguard holes on a beautiful quilted maple cap that shouldn't be hidden behind plastic !

there's also a quilted LP and PRs, I just haven't had the time to photograph them.
The binding is interesting, it looks like they've used timber instead of plastic.
