When I was in Iraq in '03 I saw one of Saddam's "treasures"....a horse pulled buggy made completely of solid gold...maybe, if they sold THAT on Ebay I'd buy it NOW for 800 USD.

I like how there's no real explanation as to WHY it's an $800 pickguard... I guess the seller figures if it has to be explained to you then it's pretty unlikely that you'd buy it. lol If a regular PG is about $40 for a $1200 MIA Jazz, does that mean that the accompanying 62 lefty jazz would run $24,000? |

btw, I was expecting it to be solid gold and/or diamond encrusted... kind of a let down. |

Actually, depending on condition an real '62 lefty jazz would run you much more than that.

Take a look at their eBay store. All their prices are just ridiculous. I wonder if there are actually collectors stupid enough to buy anything from them. |

If you're trying to restore a vintage guitar or bass they know they have you over a barrel. Where else are you going to find an original '62 lefty jazz pickguard? Their prices reflect that their market is the "gotta have it!" buyer. |
