Say, jd56hawk, what's the thingy in the lower corner of the control plate? To me it looks like a bottle opener.
As a matter of fact I do. She's a high sexed 2015 Fender factory custom American Standard P Bass. In the ever so fabulous Candy Apple Red lush finish . . .

@petrus61, that scheme matches up well, doesn't it? Very nice!
I’m always in a state of indecision about the pickguard. I’m thinking of going to a thinner ply (it’s currently standard .090 thickness right now, same as a normal three ply), or maybe even a regular B/W/B three ply for more of a 70’s look. I’m also considering white or mint, which probably wouldn’t be most folks first choice, but I think it can look cool sometimes .
