Winter Build Off 2026 - Colonel Hathi

This build looks so great. Maybe I missed it when you went through some of the other parts - where did you source your pickguard material? It has a lovely deep red with a hint of brown.

And what ferrules did you use for the top of the body? I only ever find sizes appropriate for guitar strings, not bass.

Pickguard came from ebay, the ferrules on the front are eyelets for leather working sourced from a big-box hobby store.
