Looking for a tort guard for my newly aquired Fender Vintage Series LPB bass. I've seen many aftermarket tort guards that look very one-dimensional and cheesy. I am looking for one that has that deep and rich looking authentic tort look. As most of you know, you can't buy a new, real tort guard anymore, as I recall that they are illegal to make. I want one that looks like the real deal.

Not only does spitfire by far raise and set the bar on tort guards, Mark the mastermind/artist behind spitfire is one of the nicest guys you'll ever work with! I've got a new spitfire guard on the way as we speak:D

The spitfire guy does make nice pickguards. He apparently includes religious materials with each purchase whether you ask for it or not, which of course he's free to do. But it's worth knowing beforehand, I think.
