2 weeks old, and i'm ready to make some changes!

first, i want to add a pearloid pickguard. i have been shopping around, and i am still looking for one with proper holes for the hss setup. my humbucker has 2 holes at the top, and one at the bottom. most guards i see for the hss have 1 hole at each end.

secondly, i'm thinking about chrome knobs, as well as chrome pickup covers . the only thing i cant find is a chrome cover for the bucker. if you can help with the above it would be great.

btw, mine's lake placid blue with maple neck.any thoughts on how you think this would all look together?

I have purchased two pickguards from Warmoth and have been pleased. They are kind of expensive (under $30) but you can get exactly what you want, and it doesn't take that long to ship. Also, it depends on what kind of humbuckers you have in order to find the right covers. Not all manufactures will make chrome covers for their humbuckers and I don't think that they are universal like single coil covers. Hope that helps.
