There: you knew all about it the whole time, but let me ramble on like a 'nana. And you actually own the real thing, which is way ahead of me. That is a superb instrument - I wonder what color that pickguard started out? It is really beautiful - the real thing! Eat your heart out, Custom Shop Relic!!


There were two things being discussed: warping and shrinking. Apples and oranges. I had nothing to add to the warping issue. I have experienced the shrinking issue.

I think my '64 started out a lot whiter. I bought it 30 years ago, when it was about 13 years old, so I can't say for sure, but even when new that pickguard material wasn't completely white. I believe new ones in catalogs at the time still were slightly greenish! Maybe it varied from batch to batch of that pickguard material. It sure took them long enough to fix the greening problem, 1959 to mid-1965.

The humidity alone will warp your pickguard and also your neck and always keep away from heater vents in your home.
