    The yellow needs lifting somehow. Hopefully sanding back will help. I might touch in the black around the neck and cutaway so the yellow doesn't poke through.

    I also want to swap the scratch plate for a single ply - I'm not sure the white is doing a lot for the look.

    For the scratch plate - could you use a black permanent marker (or paint!) to cover the white plastic strip in the 3-ply.
