Transparent guard, backside of it sprayed black... like this one - just black instead of gold...
or the metallic Mercedes blue maybe?

I just love black pickguards. Black and gold would be very classy...

The top knows best- I would do a plexi guard with the back sprayed in LPB, or! A Blue Anodized guard!theworkoffire wrote:BThe top on the Merc says blue
Well... actually, I would do fiesta-cota with a white guard, but...

I'd like to see how a silver anodized guard would look on this.... or even a guard done in the body colour? Not sure on that one, but curious to see how it might look.

I'd vote mint too, or black.

Hey Ben, good seeing you back and working with your to-be-expected genius – Shoreline on that body is going to look just too good...
I've realised I've got an AVRI Jm bridge to return to you from earlier this year that's been in the back of my parts drawer – remind me of your address by PM and i'll send it your way!
Hope all else going well man

Re: Yamaha SG-3 & SG-2 replica project builds - frets & spra
Cheers for all the suggestions - it won't be anodized on this one, but I like the idea of trying to go for the blue sprayed on the back of a clear guard. I have mint and parchment blanks here, too, so there's always a backup.
The weather is miserable, and I'm busy with proper work, but I've managed to get the colour coats on - about a rattle-can and a half in 4 sessions.
The shed's a bit dark, so the colour's a bit heavy in the pics - hopefully it will lighten up a bit in daylight.

Re: Yamaha SG-3 & SG-2 replica project builds - frets & spra
really nice
but you don't clear coat immediatly ? cause metallic normally need clear coat less than 2 hours after or it became to oxyde ?

I can't remember hearing of that before, Ludo, and I've never noticed any evidence of it when leaving coats overnight. How would it affect the finish?ludobag1 wrote:really nice

Surely the metallic flakes are mica, not actual metal - as far as I'm aware mica is inert and won't oxidize.
