3 ply guards?
like WBW and BWB
Yeah.. we need more guards. we'll see if anyone with good photoshop skills will make them, I can cut stuff out and thats about it.
The black and white ones need to be photos like the other ones, they dont look very good otherwise.

here's some decal pics if they're any use... someone would have to do the honours and cut them out and size them properly, i'm a bit pushed for time at the moment.

Well I did that guard but rodvobon's will probably work out better. Didn't know what to do with the screw holes.

Just realised the egdes are a bit dodgy, but I should have been gone a couple of minutes ago so no time to fix it.

I've got the bridge and knob done, but for some reason both the white and black pickguards don't fit the guitar. I'll post up the pictures in a few minutes.

We need to make a few lists -

- Stuff that is finished
- Stuff that is done but needs a little more work (pickguard reshaping, changing the neck tone to match the headstock)
- Stuff that needs to be done

I use a green background so magic wanding the image to copy is easier.
The pickguards don't look that good any way.
