They look real... the Chandlers were exact duplicates as well so it's hard to tell between those two. Are you selling them?

I'm not going to remove the existing wings if I don't have to. Main reason for that is the P route needs to be filled and no matter how it's done it won't be 'original'.
Thin Veneer laminate over the top middle section!!

Ok. Who won it? You can lay tinfoil over the middle of the body and use an iron. Then get a spatulas and gently work the glue as it separates. Once you buy wood for the replacement wings, you can get a local wood mill to cut the v
Shape on the ends
Of yor wood.i would then cut out the shape of the wings, do your final sanding, rout the control cavity... Then comes the hard part. You need to taper both sides of both wings. Aaron, I think a local wood Mill can help you with this. Then glue.

Should be an oval head Phillips wood screw. Probably a quick Hardware replacement.
Fender Jaguar Pickup Screws are the closest thing I have found to the originals.. The head is a hair bigger but not too much.
