Glenns STA-1

It may be a week or three before I get that colour on - only ordered it this week. Plenty of time for circumspection and neck set up while I wait. :-)

I think a black scratchplate will work better than the stock white one. Opinions on hardware?

[wokkaboy]

agreed Glenn, I'd say black pickguard and probably black hardware will go well with the dark ash grain

[GlennGP]

Ah, but when I go back to my inspiration image, it actually works with white!

Agreed, black PG might make things a little too sombre . . . although it would depend on the depth of that blue IMO.
You could always consider a nice blue swirl - just hop in that spa with it?

[GlennGP]

The way I see it, white (which was supplied with the kit) will work, as demonstrated above. I can always experiment later. Onwards!

Plus, my great-grandmother was raised in Arden Street, North Melbourne ...

nice pic of the blue with white pickguard Glenn. I'd make a decision once you see how deep the blue turns out !
Pest is also a Kangaroos fan so he would vote the white pickguard !

Looking great GGP! The black ash grain will highlight very nicely under the blue. For my mind the white pickguard is a better choice, although I would go white pearl .

cheers,
Gav.

Can always go pearl later!

blue and white for sure - go CATS!!

or antique white/cream would look good
