Very nice job. I'm a fan of pearloid pickguards so the original was my preference also. I can see why you changed it though. It really does look great (isn't it as much fun to work on them as play them ?). NOW...go enjoy it.

Well done Fontana, really well done.

I personally love that black scratchplate. I dislike blue guitars but that black plate looks strangely right. I particularly love the way the black darkens the outer edges of the body.

Tasty.

It is a lot of fun! Now that I've finished my first one, I can see why so many folks on this forum love to modify their Strats!
