Thanks so much for your replies and assistance. The supplied pickguard it is as it's not _that_ important to me.

I'm thinking of getting a different looking pickguard for my AG-2 build.

My first, huh, what to do moment: My friend/customer wants gold frets, so I bought a custom shop neck that has been kerfed but without fret wire. The odd bit is that they seem to have "filled in" the...

Thanks much, Ross! I'm sure this will be plenty -- I'm sure I'll figure it out _AND_it helps to have at least one reference just to check myself.

The main reason for custom is my Norwegian headbanging friend wants black on black on black with gold frets. So I ordered a custom neck with ebony fretboard with no frets.

It will be my first time...
