My 2nd Warmoth....

I'm also considering a white pickguarda, relicced to a nice amber tint...

w/b/w pickguard and some black coffee would get you exactly that.

Tried that to my white pickup covers bought from Guitar Parts Resource, also Mustard, English Sauce (Worcestershire) and nothing happened :sad:

How long did you leave it in for?

the relic thing would be cool! as long as you don't take it too far. i hate when people get relic'd (rusted and beat up) hardware  :dontknow:  but that pickguard looks awesome!

That's my thought too  :icon_thumright:

Go with a clean new pickguard.

3ply or 1ply ?  :confused4:

I think a 1ply pickguards will look more classy...

New parchment or maybe mint. That old broken piece of plastic doesn't belong anywhere near your new body. And don't drag it behind your car to make it match either!

Single ply, off-white or even cream.  I'm normally a w/b/w kinda guy, but your guitar and another I'm working on just scream for a single ply.

Thanks for the suggestion guys! I can't find a shop with the 1ply pickguard...I will try on ebay....

+1. In the words of John Hiatt:

there ought to be a law with no bail
smash a guitar and you go to jail
with no chance for early parole
you don't get out till you get some soul

In the end I will try the classic White 3ply pickguard that I have. The 1ply is sexy but hard to find in my city!


*no pickguard was harmed in the making of this reply

Tortoise, Mint/Blk/Mint, or Blk/W/Blk.  Single ply has it's place, usually Blk single ply on Butterscotch Teles or White on Strats with the older 8-hole.

Yippiiee! The body has arrived!
The bengal burst is very nice, and the white pickguard fit nicely!
The neck fit tight...

I also have fun doing the wiring of the pot. The heat shrinking tube and vintage wire are very handy.

 

[wolf]

Mmmmmh...

Damn....Black is hot too...I still can't decide

 

[Mor Paul]

I'm liking black.

B

The last one is my favourite at the moment......

 

[Mor Paul]

I'm liking #2.

EDIT: Looked at them wrong. B is for me.

I vote for #1

sorry to be so negative, but I think all of them look either too 'stock' or too SRV. but then again, its not my guitar  :icon_biggrin:

I would love to see it with a cream or white pearloid... or even just a cream pg.
