That might also be the bridge, it's alive its alive!!! 😅

Certainly worth a try in the meantime I reckon @Clarky, it's gonna come off anyway to sort the thumbrest holes

Yeah, I over bodged it with a sponge, after mulling over it, I'm gonna stick with black, but find something better..

I quite like the idea of a black one when I compared it to the relic'd tort as a colour scheme. Maybe just a shi!!y example of one? Although not completely sold. I used to be indecisive...😁

Just noticed the second to last image is a fantastic shot of the hercules stand foot 😁

Sorry all, been abit pre occupied, anyhoo, been progressing this in the background... 1. Tested and installed the originals electrics, pickups, pots, jack etc.. added a fresh earth 2. Stuck with the rabid bridge, it's grown on me (literally some sort of symbiote). 3. Neck back on, deep talking flats added. 4. Pickguard gate - I went with a roughed up black, the ply white is too white, any suggestions? I set the screws in as they were protruding a little too much. Amateur relic job, passable or nah? Honest opinions welcome, I won't cry. 5. Forgot to reinstall the thumb rest holes so need to do that, PG off again! Missing a PG screw as it snapped during Removal, it felt like it was glued in by the jack hole originally, probably over screwed in the past or something hence the bodge fix?! 6. @ossyrocks kindly lent me some of his body cleaner, ive given it a good go, but dunno if the old girl is for turning.. 😆 If anyone has a rusty PG screw available I'd love to snaffle it, same with any 'better' Pickguards 🙂.

Saw these on Facebook..

It literally has started a new pandemic 😆

That's a good idea actually!

It's pretty corroded underneath, but seems to be earthing OK. See how we go i guess.
