im doing the following:
ripping the frets out of one of my strat necks.
making a new pg for it, neck pickup only, vol tone.
pickguard will be RED TORT.
your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find me a blank of red tort.
will post pixcorxz of the process.

is the fretboard rosewood or maple? this is all important when choosing pickguard color.
if RW: tort might look good. also, white, mint or pearl.
if MPLZ: White or mint.
basically white would look the best on red. to make it different looking you could do black covers and knobs like the 70s international ones.
oh look I even found a picture of one.....
