A quick celebration of a particular pickguard that Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy favoured…
…the acrylic mirror pickguard!
Most famous for using his trust Fender Precision Bass, Phil also sported an Aria Pro II TSB, a Rickenbacker 4003 and an Ibanez Blazer amongst other but with the mirror guard where possible!
There’s a brilliant trick I’ve seen used while playing Jailbreak where Phil Lynott uses a spotlight to reflect the beam into the crowd using his bass! The P Bass in particular is very iconic, so much so that Fender Custom shop have released a short run of Phil’s P Bass retailing £10,000… ouch!
