Have you got some crackle on the bottom "horn"? Interesting - your cavity is completely different from mine...
BTW - nice colour choice - the pickguard should set off the rest nicely. Have you got a red tortoise shell pickguard? If not - email me.

Yeah, lot of crackling going on. Lots of DB-approved sanding back to come.
I ordered a pickguard last night. But if it's rubbish I will give you a holler. Thanks!

No worries - have a VP one here that's currently template material for a black one. Not a tortoise shell person so I can't see myself using it in a hurry.

Second coat of Warm Ochre. Getting there....

Hardware test with new colour. The white pickguard looks a lot better than I thought it would, so I can't wait to see how the tortoiseshell one does...

Looking sweet! At least if the tortoise shell one doesn't work, you've got a good option there!

Done! Ready for the tortoiseshell to arrive...

And lo, it doth appear!
Very pleased with the look of the tortoiseshell- I can see there will be some alignment issues to contend with if I go ahead with replacing the white guard (the t'shell is a lot narrower in places) but I think the end result will make it worthwhile persevering with.
Thoughts? Opinions?

The tortoiseshell really sets it off. Suppose its just whether its going to cover your existing holes or how much work in refilling and painting. Looks classy though.

The white looks good... the tortoiseshell looks better. It's worth the effort.
