Yes very smart, will take my time and follow your advice, I definately want everything fitting. The upside is that I will probably cut a custom pick guard, dont know yet.

Not using this scratchplate just using it as a guide, the one i wanted wasnt in stock so its on backorder.
What pickguard are you going for? I feel like you will need something just right to compliment the fancy hardware. The black is too plain, but if it has a different pattern or is too overtly patterned will it clash with or detract from the hardware?
Black one ply might work out best as anything plain black doesn't seem to attract your attention so much and always handy as a backdrop for other things you wish to highlight. Alternatively bright chrome or mirror look would work well with chrome bits & pieces.
Pearl white gets my vote.
