Hi Stu, It's interesting how much the pickguard changes the look of your guitar. Just a suggestion for the holes, you could buff down a couple of matching screws and glue them in the holes. Nobody would ever know, except you, me, and everyone on TH-cam.
Hi Doug00596 - Yes, it is interesting how easily you can change the look of a guitar without going to that much trouble. In the past I have made my own scratch-plates shaped out of thin sheets of timber. That's an interesting suggestion for filling the holes... regards: Stu
The pearloid look certainly adds some visual zing, Stu! Although I prefer to body mount my Tele neck pickup (just for the look) with the design of the new pickguard, I think I’d probably mount it to the guard rather than plug the holes and appreciate the ease of height adjustment!
Hi Derek - thanks for chipping in... that's a good point and it did pass my mind to do that. I suppose there is a part of me wanting to keep it looking correct for the era... I'm too busy just now to fill the holes, so I might just come up with another idea, I'm sure I've got some off-white plastic grommets in my spares box that would just fit into the holes nicely thereby keeping my options open.... ;-) regards: Stu
@@StuGuitarChannel The power of the look! Just a thought - would a squirt of polyfiller work? Might even take some added shading from coloured pencils, or watercolour paint? Good luck with whatever you do! 👍
@@derekclacton Flexible filler might do the job but many of them tend to shrink over time. In my days of working on custom vehicles we used various resins and fillers, nothing worse seeing a beautiful paint job with a large crack-line because the filler shrunk or became brittle. Kitchen-top repair kits are useful. The trick is to get that glossy finish to match the plate. Any other ideas folks... be sensible... ;-)
