  • Ok, am filling time while the Crapocaster cures by cleaning up the dump-rescue Squier Showmaster. Electrics and mechanicals are all good. Frets are good to but will give them a polish. Fingerboard oil/stain arriving tomorrow. I'm going to remove the neck and middle PUs to turn it into a one-pickup widdle rawk blaster. I'm going to have a crack at making a custom pickguard to cover the cavities. I've narrowed it down to two colours from here: Yellow/Black Tiger or 4-Ply Pink. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112608337918

    General idea shown here with an old tele guard balanced over the offending apertures.

    What do we reckon?

  • Yellow/black tiger all day.

  • Did you know that particular seller routs and bevels guards at really quite a nice price if you send him the old one as a template? You can easily ask him to leave out a couple of pickup holes. In my limited experience, trying for a properly neat job at home with fretsaw, files and sandpaper is low on fun.
