No pickguard!Love the sunburst btw.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Awesome 'burst, love it.
As it stands I think it looks better with the pickguard, but only because the black pickup rings contrast a little too much with the chrome pups.
Have you considered chrome rings? I just did a (really) quick and dirty mockup of some chrome rings and I think they work (pics below, excuse the rush job).
Chrome rings are available at a few places, some in pairs, others singles:
StewMac,
GuitarFetish,

I've never really been a pick guard man either DB, but for some reason in this case it just seems to add something to the setup that makes it look complete. So I've decided that it will go on.Quote from dingobass on March 9, 2013, 22:26
Toss a coin.....
Personally I have never really been a pick guard man, but this time it is a really hard choice.
Best wishes with the immanent arrival of your Bub!
Also, thanks to everyone for your input and well wishes! Starting to get nervous now, exactly 4 weeks until the due date!
Oh, and here's a pic I haven't posted yet, the back of the neck.

Just remember one thing: the due date is 99% incorrect... When my sister was in hospital last year, my cousin was born 6 months before the due date!Quote from stui on March 10, 2013, 11:48

Are you sure it wasn't 6 weeks Callum? Pretty sure a 6 month prem baby wouldn't be developed enough to survive. Even 3 months early is borderline...Quote from keloooe on March 10, 2013, 12:49

But yes I know that the due date isn't usually accurate, we're ready to go now at a moments notice
I reckon the black pickguard looks good with the colour you've chosen. Nice job!
So the big day has arrived! Glued the neck in when I got home from work. I also managed to shield the cavity before putting in the electrics
