While waiting for neck to cure, I revisited the body mock up:
As I wanted to fill the void underneath the 22nd fret, I considered making a custom pickguard.
The kit pickguard is of a weird shape for the TL-1TB kit.
Looking at other people who have built this, none of them seem to have used a pickguard at all, maybe that shows that most have mixed feelings for the custom pickguard.
I used Adobe Photoshop, and Illustrator to make a new pickguard which takes into consideration of the 72 thinline tele, the stock PitBull One, and a standard tele to frankestein a new one.
I printed a few copies and cut them out to make sure the holes are at the right spots.
Won't be able to achieve a 3-Ply effect with a custom one, but I should still be able to chamfer the corners
Next step, apply top coat to neck (it's cold, so I'm giving a few more days), wait for the colours to settle and go to the spray paint shop and see if they can match the colour for the middle part of the 2 tone burst body.
