Damn!  I was really hoping you were going to say that you purchased it from some unknown pickguard manufacturer... :(

I would have called them tomorrow.

How did you do the neck?  It looks really nice - tough to get that old dirty grain in the neck look.

I'll have to post some good pics of the necks I do. I actually do all the aging first and then spray the final lacquer coats and hand rub them out. That way - it's super thin nitro and feels great and worn - but the actual "worn" look is under the lacquer so it doesn't GO AWAY  :)

I'm actually REALLY happy w/ the backs of the necks. There's a lot of subtle detail that you'll only see while holding the guitar though. Pictures make things look "even" - while in person - there's all these subtle variations and shades

Interesting - I think I read where GVGC did something similar.  Must be a dark stain your wiping out and sanding back to get the grimy grain look.

...again - great job!
