On a more postive note, I have finally tracked down a genuine Fender Esquire pickgaurd, sadly an eight hole one, not the five I'd have liked. Got some strap buttons coming (real Fender as well) but as yet no proper metal volume/tone knobs. Now I have found an Epiphone SG that needs rescuing and in need of "some work", so I may have another project on the go soon. "Some scoundrel has taken the cork for my lunch" W.C Fields    Report
