The gum/razor/sand seems to have done the trick. I think only I'll see them because I know where the were.And with those glue spots by the edges of the veneer, they’re real buggers. I tried everything but they don’t seem to go, so I had to use a solid colour around the edges. I’m sure you’ve found a better solution. All the best!
The question regarding the pickguard was pretty rhetoric and getting your feedback gave that reassurance. The hard part is finding humbuckersized single coil mounting rings.
Guitar fetisj is doing a single coil humb. sized mounting ring though and saw these GFS gold foil single coils.
Anyone experience with these? Or any other decent pick ups around 30$. (I know this is down to taste but still, simple do's and don'ts for a noob like me, highly appreciated)
And can I (if I decide to) mount a neck humbucker in there without altering the wiring?
Thank you guys, have a great weekend.
