Nice work on the pickguard, I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the resurrection! That poor Jazzmaster deserves it!

Oh yes, thanks, that was it! I've read that ages ago somewhere around here.
There will always be a visible crack. I just like the challenge of fixing it to the best of my abilities. Also, the small part of the pickguad is not as flat as I'd like and while double sided take might do it for a while, it won't last and leave sticky mess everywhere. Ask me how I know Nonetheless, I share your view on preserving some of its scars (=history).
Yeah, I kind of thought so, too. But it really depends on the lighting.
It's only because the original owner never took it apart when sanding/painting the guitar. It survived white, black, gold and wood stain. Alright, I'll keep it as is! Thanks for your opinions.
I agree -- this thread is great. The guitar is really turning out fantastic! I love seeing the step-by-step on projects like this, and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of this story unfold.
