Because those guitars were cheap as balls. Those pickups are HORRIBLE by the way, they are the same type you find on Guyatones and they have no redeeming features what so ever. I once pulled one apart to find that it had 3 ferrite magnets stacked and glued together for some reason.

I'm thinking about having the tort guards on my Reverends sent in to pickguardian and having them make me a three-layer mint one for my chronic blue rev, and a straight black one for my sparkle red rev.

we have a cool old venue/bar here called Skipper's Smokehouse and it seems like Dick Dale plays there like 2-3 times a year, and he's a super chill guy.

That's probably the most tastefully done 6-string bass I've ever seen. Death to flame maple though.

Hahahahahahaha, that's loving shameful! They didn't even put the neck on straight when they converted it, you can still see the corner of the neck pickup rout, it's not that hard to fill it then put that (awesomely tacky) shiny poo poo over the top. I think the high e is hanging over the edge of the board too, kind of hard to see though.
