Last June I found a used Baja on the the eBay.



Pretty much decent enough guitar.

I recently sent it out to Doug Halliday in Rochester NY for the treatment. He turned it around in 2 weeks!

The original 5-hole white pickguard for this guitar is long gone. Over the winter it picked up a tortiseshell guard that looked great, but I don't think it would be the look we are going after with the leather cover.

So we sent off to GFS for this one.



It has 8-holes instead of 5. So we have to make some new holes in the body.



For some reason, I use lots of pickguard screws! Found out long ago it is cheaper to buy them by the box!
