Very nice!

Fantastic!

After a bunch of trial and error and a bit of $$$: Thanks @Dutchman

There is one pic showing the initial worn red finish on the body. As a result of my messing around with it, the finish under the black vinyl I applied is now worse. The rest of the body has some dings/scratches that may not photograph well, but nothing out of the ordinary. Tone Zone bridge pickup, original OBL middle/neck pickups Original beat-up but functional case with bungee-cord straps where handle should be Long scale, set neck, cool headstock version (in my opinion) FR is et up for normal tuning with 009's 8.3 pounds via bathroom scale $1400 plus actual shipping cost Fun guitar, just downsizing if anyone wants it EDIT: The original strap buttons have been replaced with a strap lock.

I just looked at the pictures 🤪

Good to see @topekatjis back with the CL deals!

Good luck! Hope it is an easy fix!

This is from https://www.wdmusic.com/wd-custom-pickguards.html. I traced an outline and they made the checkerboard. After all this I probably like basic black the best. Added this pic to the OP too for comparison.

Hey you were right!

It is looking like: White (including w/b/w and aged white): 3 Black (including b/w/b): 8 Other: (not counting "millions of LEDs" and "install an iPad"): 3 or maybe 4, I lost count to be honest Winner: TORTOISESHELL Just kidding I'm not doing that, and thanks for the suggestions I appreciate them!

I started to do that but can’t tell if my original post and pics would get overwritten so I will remember that for next time!

Someone on HFC had one about this color from a Prototype II a few years ago…maybe not as aged 🤔

Uh-oh

I think it’s too late for that? Poll would now have to read black white bwb wbw aged white engraved checkerboard polka dot/tortoise shell/perhaps get some strings/etc. This has really cleared things up for me!

One step at a time! 🤪

I probably prefer black but this way I can swap around when I change strings.

Thank you for taking the time to post this. I have been happy with PirateShip in the past but had no idea PayPay had a shipping option. Will be sure to check that out next time!
