I work in the building industry lol. There's plenty of beer bottles in walls.

Comment wasn't a dig at your work. Just impressed at how well you managed with what you had.

yes, us simple hill folk somehow struggle on with what we have.
You should see the 1x18 powered sub I fashioned out of an old ponga log and a kitchen blender.

Does the under coat affect the glitter coat at all?

[StrummersOfThunder]

I'm still not happy with my pickguard design, and I think I need it to be cream to match the pickup covers.
I have also decided on a head stock logo.

Does the under coat affect the glitter coat at all?

To an extent yes. The glitter coat is just children's glitter sparkles suspended in clear. There is ok pigment. So you'd have to put a lot on to cover the base coat color completely. Luckily, my base coat was sparkly blue.

exactly ..... simon NEVER watch a house being built you'd be shocked at what builders fill and architrave covers

There's one locally with a reputation for filling the internal walls with all the shit he can't be arsed to pay to tip. Pieces of Gib off-cut an' crap like that.

Found out a couple of years ago that one of our walls was being held up by a twig. Been like that for 10 years and youd never have known. Just happened to take a look behind the gib one day..

LOL. I'm sure there are all kinds of nasties out there. If I had the skills I'd build my family's next home myself.

Ok forum, I need some guidance.
As I said, I'm not digging the pickguard.
I'm going to start afresh so what color do you think?
Cream?

Tort?


Perloid?

if it were me, I'd go with the "less is best" to show off the most sparkle, in maybe pearl for more effect or plain black for contrast. Something like a thinline tele with a standard bridge (sorry, couldn't work out how to attach an image....too early in the morning).

The finish is looking awesome, my daughter loves it!

Haha, So do my nieces!

I really like the tort myself, but mint green or cream could be good too.

I reckon the lower half of your pickguard is good, it's just the top half that needs work. I reckon it would be good to make it a nod to a Jaguar- along the lines of the one on the Eko in the pick above.
