Can you spot something amiss?

Something in this picture just doesn't sit right with me...can you guess???

How can I make it right??

The trem knob "too white"?

Everything is off white except the mint green pick guard?

Both are true but the damn tremelo arm pisses me off something fierce!!

The backplate is also bright ass white but I just take those off anyways...

Any suggestions on how to darken it up a bit??

Take up cigar smoking.

Soak it in black coffee for a few minutes .

Tea works better than coffee for me, and wood stain can work, too. If you remove the tip to replace it, remember older ones thread on but newer ones push/pull without threads on the handle-end of the rod. IRRC the trem tip and parchment colored back-plate both come with the aged white plastic accessory kit, don't they?

How did you end up with such a mismatch of plasticware ?

Have the same thing on my CP60s Strat. Stupid nitpick, but it really drives me nutty. Try the tea or coffee trick, but you may find that it won't work due to the plastic used on current tips. In that case, there's an aftermarket replacement for about $4 that'll do the job. Last check, both my local shop and GC had them in stock regularly.

Brown shoe polish works fine as well. I just use Kiwi liquid - put a little on a rag, wipe it on the white tip, let it dry for 5 minutes/wipe off excess and you're done.

If you want it a hair darker rub it with purple or finer Micromesh pad(s) before using the shoe polish.

Walnut wood stain works best. Scuff it up with some steel wool first though. the stain will go into the fine scuff marks and will also give it a slightly aged look. It will be permanent.

I would try soaking it in green tea

It looks to me as though it is missing a right hand.

one too many pickups and one of those gosh-darned whammy thingies!
