Wokkas Ash Strat - burning sun and jarrah stain burst

[wokkaboy]

thanks for the suggestions forumites, I took photos of what colour pickguards I have, black and white pearloid, thinking black at this stage, this is only 1st coat so I'll go a darker jarrah stain on the outsides

this pic wih a light yellow/ivory pickguard, like this the least.
I've had a quick look on ebay and am thinking a HSH black pickguard with black knobs/pup covers should look good. I'll also order a grey/black pearl pickguard to compare.
I've just ordered a copper pickguard, sure this will look the goods

thought about a tortoise shell one? either way the black pearloid would look a treat

[wokkaboy]

Yes AJ thought about red tortoise shell but already done that on the watermelon ash strat, want something new. I've ordered a copper and 2 loaded black pickguards so I'll choose between them

black will look the goods Wokka!

Wokks, love the idea of a copper pickguard, but that looks like a shield not a pickguard. 0.6mm copper - not sure it will cut it as a pickguard.

Not sure about the white or the black pickguards - they don't fit with the natural wood colour you've got.

@ Brendan, yes you are correct, I should read the description more carefully ! With any luck I'll be able to stick it ontop of a pickguard to give a copper appearance. Otherwise I'll have good shielding for the pickguard if stuck below !

I think to do that you'd need a lefty so it could be reversed...

I didn't get any close ups but got 2nd burst coat on and tried to replicate the headstock burst, as usual I'll get some better pics tomoz. Matching headstock is in the far right of this pic

looks like a good drying day at the wokka house...
