fuck knows where i'll get the little bracket bit for it though.
I assume an LP bracket won't work?
not sure, i don't have anything for comparison.

I think it has the potential to be pretty hot, but the chrome control plate will likely never look just right next to all that gold. Strats/Jazzmasters/Dup Sonics have my blessing to go gold for this reason, and more so with maple necks.
Ken (L'arc en Ciel) had a gold-on-red option on his Fernandes signature strat years back but it was almost as rare in the market as the champagne sparkle version, most being sunburst. You can see a few cuts of it in their Stay Away video:

I would go with a bronze pickguard with a separate bronze control plate. It should be easy enough to cut by hand with the right shears.

Isn't the bracket for those types of pickguards just an L shape? I'm sure you can find something at a hardware store that would work, or just cut a piece of metal and make one bend.

The bracket, I'll take a pic of, you could probably make one from something at a home improvent/hardware store, you'd have to bend it to shape and drill the mounting holes in it, but you could make it.
You don't need a template. Jeannie pickguards fit these nicely. Yours is the Coronado II, Gold is 45usd, and all others are around 35usd, I'd be happy to ship it to you.
