Shot almost an entire can of blonde and she looks great.  I'll put  some clear coats on next.

Now that's beginning to look like the right shade of blond.

Yeah, it's getting there.  Took the picture in the garage with natural light.

Looking good. Funny but it almost looks like a aged white Tbird/cream

The Fender blond is very close to that, just a little less yellow and meant to be used as a transparent finish over highly grained ash.  Sprayed solid (opaque), it gives a nice vintage white look.

So you will have twins now, but not identical?

Yep, it'll look pretty close to my white TB!

What do you all think of a tort pick guard for a retro look on this bass?  If I do one, should I just mount it like a typical LP guard with the chrome bracket or just screw it down to the top?

[Chris P.]

A top mounted LP jr. style guard could be different?
