Hi Eric, I agree with your head, Dedman and Fretty. White pickguard and chrome hardware.
Think about a white pearloid pickguard might look cool

I would go white pickguard. Or, for something different, maybe try chrome with black pickguard but white pickups and knobs.
You could always go Chrome hardware and Chrome pickguard?

If anyone has any tips for finishing a maple neck and fretboard it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Eric
Well only going from what i tried on mine, i used a stain on the back of the neck, built up the coats with a wipe on poly, one per day, it dried fast, then finished with one coat of high gloss clear acrilic, which dried fast also.Quote:

Bit late getting a hold on this thread but liking the progress so far.
Here are some shots of a brushed aluminium scratch plate I put on my son's hot rodded strat which you can buy on eBay.
Used an Acrylic mirror before and that scratched up way too easy and as this one is metal coated it should not scratch up as bad as the last one.

Trimmed out a headstock, i have stuck to a traditional style, freehand on the scroll saw turned out better than i expected
