thanks Scott, they aren't cheap ! I saw some on ebay for about half the price from Japan not sure if they are compatible being for a 62 model strat. Might look into cutting my own to save postage time.

This baby has more grain than CBH
And man, how nicely you've managed to bring it out!
I can feel another GOTM contender coming on . . .
You make some gorgeous axes man.
ok got to see how the black pickguard looks, ignore the lines of the plastic on the pick guard.
Thanks for the comments Lawry and Maxaxe

here's pics with the copper shielding sheet over a white pick guard, so I might see how it looks over a black pick guard. Will look into finding a thicker copper plate or not sure if gluing it to back of a clear pick guard or ontop of a pickguard will work.
Which does everyone prefer between black and copper ? I tend to like the black pick guard

I prefer the black pick guard. To me it seems to show off the grain more whereas the copper appears to make it look a bit washed out.
I agree with Lawry, they both look good but the black makes both the grain and the burst stand out more.
Black definately, though could you make it satin rather than gloss?
