Appreciate the optimism Ben, let's hope this update lives up to it.
Followed Weirdbits' excellent tutorial on making templates and pickguards and made a new 'guard and truss rod cover out of 2mm clear acrylic. Stock 'guard placed on top of my revised version.
and the new acrylic one
Painted the back of the new 'guard with what I had left of the dyes and it's alright but not what I had hoped for. It was fun trying to do the burst in reverse - dark green then white- without being able to see how the burst is working as you are going along.
Mock up with new 'guard
Also, Mauro's natural finish RC-4 is really good!
