So, after looking at my halfway stripped fiesta red body and nice original JS neck sitting in a corner while life happened, I decided to pick up the project again, and as usual I have a lot of questions:
pickguard:
anybody use one of these off of ebay?
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-White-Pearl-Fen ... .m20.l1116
is the quality any good?
Is there a source for an original Fender pickguard (allparts says no)?
Has anybody made their own? if so can you make one out of plexiglass?
Color:
has anybody painted their JS Ocean Turquoise? I saw a jag painted this color recently and I think it is starting to grow on me. What other colors do you think would look great? I am not a fan of either sonic blue or fiesta red so don't just say those stock colors, this is a custom build afterall it should have some flair.
also, has anybody ever used the new water based paints that are out there now? supposedly clean up is much easier than before. I was looking on auto air colors' site and they have a pic of a strat painted with their stuff so I presume it is safe, but I just want to make sure.
