Looks like another sad top routing story

[Crappy]

Tell me there was a good reason to top rout this one.

Be better rear route, but at least on that one the pickguard won't be covering up most of the interesting grain/figuring....

That might be the nicest looking piece of korina I've ever seen.

WHY? it's a beautiful piece of wood, destined to never be displayed!

 

[Soloshchenko]

I like it the way it is. If it was rear routed the single coils would have the strange "open" look you get, not very strat like. The most important stripe will still be very visible with a pickguard on so its not a problem. I think the sadder thing is that Warmoth have finished it themselve rather than leaving it to be oiled by one of us!

It would look cool with a clear pickguard.

To me its singin for a tortie pickguard

Gold anodized pickguard with black PU covers, black knurled metal knobs, black bridge and jackplate is what that body cries out for....
