Wow. Ridiculous. Enough said.

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.

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. :mrgreen:

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

yeah, that fact crossed my mind after I wrote that, but I never edit my posts for content... besides doesn't that math then mean that the pickguard is a steal and someone should buy it immediately?

Awesome! I can't wait to install that on my $200 MIM J.

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.
