You have a point there. Never considered that.

Sweet. It's the pearloid pickguard that sells it and this may just sway a7e7d7 toward the red. :wink:

Is the PG stock? I don't think it's available for the 2013 Candy Cola American Standard is it?

Cheers!

Mr. BM, the PG is Fender aftermarket - White MOTO. Or maybe that's MOJO. :shock:
I put some parchment PU covers, switch and whammy bar tips on her yesterday. Really looking good. Just don't have any pics yet. That's the only things I'm doing to this one. Plays and sounds perfect. I have found my "ONE".

Of the colors that you listed, my first choice would be the Oly Wht w/ RW, or second choice the Blk w/ Mpl. Of course both would be nice. 8) I picked the 3 Tn Brst w/ RW.

No, the stock pickguard is a 3-ply aged parchment.
