I'm late to this thread.

As the owner and overseer of a recent large home-improvement project, I love the OSB, but I think the burst was a step in the wrong direction. Too traditional. It should have been that pour-on epoxy stuff they use for hatch-cover furniture, in basic "clear".

And for the pickguard? Asphalt roofing shingle. You'll need to wear a leather work glove to play it of course.

This will probably get me on a hit list somewhere , but , what are you planning for a neck ?

You can get the black duct (duck) tape and use that as a binding, that would be sweet.

my other idea is stick with the pick guard you have or go with a hardened flat piece of leather.

someone mentioned branding it which I love, if you don't brand the body then put the thin layer of OSB on the head and brand that with a name or initial.

last series of ideas...................Go with the torched binding and a bit of the torched burst (it really adds something to the look) and see if you can get the metal pieces finished with a black oxide finish to give that made out of iron look, you can even use stovepipe black and toss them on the Bar-b-Que or in the oven on broil to bake it in so it does not wipe of.

Marty,

That is looking great. I like the traditional blackguard look on the very non-traditional body. I wouldn't change a thing.
