Yea reckon that would look better Simon, might even slightly curve in the 2 sides of the trc to match the headstock sides, cheersQuote:

cool shaped pickguard Nitro, is there any way to make it a bit smaller as you are covering a fair bit of that veneer ?
mock build looks great
My thoughts as well. You've spent a lot of time on that veneer and now you're covering most of it up. You could simply loose the top wing, unless you now need some pickguard there to mount the pickup selector switch.
Your axe but I would go naked after all the hard work doing the veneered top. Could end up with too many competing patterns on top that may detract rather than enhance. Sometimes less is more if you know what I mean?
Ok will play around with the design tomorrow, cheersQuote:
