Hawaiian Holiday Melobar


This is what happens when you're sitting around talking about what would be cool and someone says, "hey - what about using one of the old album LP's as a pickguard..."

WAYYY!! harder than I thought it would be but kind of fun too. The album is Hawaiian Holiday with Hawaiian Starlight and Aloha showing on the label Spin-O-Rama.

The Paul Barth pickup has a very warm tone but I'll only sell it as a wall hanger because I can't warranty that pickguard won't crack under abuse but it does sound like the Islands $395


Love the color, has a lot of green and blues in it not coming out in the photo, I call it ocean blue and am doing a SXL double pickup in it right now.
