And it looks amazing!
I am jealous of all of you.
Somebody take my money and make me a pair of pickguards. Please.

Be patient. I hope to have mine back soon. Precision Guitar is very reasonable. Now that he has a template, we'll have some choices.
I've got this carbon fiber pickguard and it looks great on black, bet it would on red as well. Some of you know I've stripped the paint and sunbursted the body. I'm REALLY considering to get a machine shop in town to waterjet an aluminum pickguard for me and then have it gold anodized.
Wow - waterjet an aluminum pickguard? I imagine that's lots of CNC programming, no? What would that cost?
I'm a CAD designer so getting it drawn up won't be a problem and I got a guy who owns a machine shop.
I'm in. Ordered last night, this thread kicked the GAS into overdrive.
And now the string and pickguard dance begins...

Got some fine tuning to do with the model, but it's close...
I just replaced another set of strap buttons.
On my original, I went the black route, and both the tuner replacements and button replacements were "cosmo black."
On my second, I am staying with the chrome, and I just replaced the buttons with some nice, big chrome allparts buttons.
I had forgotten how small the stock buttons are. They are comically small. They are pretty much sized for a ukulele.

The pickguard is done. I'm going to order a tort one also.

He doesn't ship overseas, but if any of our overseas friends want one. Let me know, and I'll hook you up.

Speaking of which, I pulled the trigger on the "pearl bubbles" shelf liner stuff. I hope the bubbles are as small as they appear.
I also ordered some fingertip guards. My right index finger is tweaked at the last joint, and my nail clanks the string when I pluck. Meaning I have two different tones on my plucking fingers. Sometimes it's handy having different tones on different fingers, many times it's not. These should give me consistent sound across both fingers.

Tiny Bubbles ?
And as for those fingertip guards, having lived this long, I thought that I had seen everything....
