Re: Changing a pickguard on a 60's CV Strat?

As promised here are the before and after shots, I REALLY love the new look ( all thanks to the amazing generosity of ehdwuld ) It was a perfect fit btw!


Before with 4-ply tortoise ( had been saying 3-ply, but it's 4 )


With white guard


Another angle 4-ply tortoise


With white guard


Thanks for the help everyone, I really love how it came out. To me ( IMHO ) now it looks classic!
As I have said a few times now, thanks you again so much ehdwuld!

Take Care

Ouch,
Didn't realize the shots with the new white guard came out so dark, the sunburst is really set off more with it. These pics didn't do it justice at ALL, guess I will take new shots of the white guard to show off the difference better. Sorry didn't even know they looked so bad until the thread loaded!

Will fix it asap!

The white guard is messing with the auto adjust

Take it outside in the sunlight

I didn't think about that, will give it a try.
