May have gone a bit far with ye olde aging and it looks like something found in the cracks of a smokers sofa. Still better than white though.

Looks more like something in situ. The bottom tone is the bridge tone. Middle is the other 2.
Now I just need the guitar to get here.

Will you age the pickguard to match the pickups & knobs?

Doubtful but we'll see when the guitar gets here. I'm liking the contrast at the minute and wonder if jet glossy black might smarten the whole thing up a little.

Fresh from Tokyo, this 1984(ish) Fender CST50.
Cigarette burns. Smells like mojo.
Dirt and scratches aside it's in officially not bad condition. Neck is straight, tuners and bridge work, frets are ok too.

Re: What's on your work bench?
New neck plate, pickguard, electronics, pickups, jack and plate.. and after all that I forgot to get bridge screws.
Still, looks like a guitar.
Note the 3 strap buttons. This was a definite Hendrix wannabe Strat (also has a righty bone nut).
