Faux bone buttons on. I like them way better than the gold!

Excellent

Those buttons definitely take it up a notch (not that it needed it ;~))!!!

This picture just clarified that I need to do the same thing. Looks great.

Yeah, I really like these. Stock seems to be thinning. My usual sources(Mann) were out. I got these from https://www.ryansguitarexperience.com/
That was a good experience, but they seem out now too.

Such a good look.

Totally approve!

Some quilt maple upgrades from @docteurseb - I must say, he did an awesome job on matching the stain and we selected some maple that we figured would come closest to matching the top(had a couple choices). I’m super happy with the work he did. Great job!

I have yet to take the photos to showcase the good Doctor's work, but it is on my to do list! He really is good at getting those matches right!! Made my WL and Core look like PS material IMO!!! Yours look great, congrats on the upgrades!!!

Excellent work using the beach towel, btw. Gotta remember this.

Well, I don’t go to the beach and it’s probably a tad big for after a shower. Gotta do something with it.

Thanks ! I'm very happy for you as it's often a crap shot matching stains (even when you have the guitar in hand).
Charcoal looks deceptibly simple but unless you get the concentration and wood right you can't get that high contrast effect you have on your 594.

Well you did a helluva nice job on these! Thanks again!

That's a great upgrade. Because of this thread I had to buy some new tuner buttons for my 594. I ordered the same beach towel too.

I think these look great on any prs with binding and the bone nut. A slightly more classic look on the modern tuners. Still considering the silver color SS thumb screws to further that even more.

Shameless plug: I made two other sets in charcoal+gloss backplates and TRC when I made @vchizzle 's covers. One set is curly maple, the other is quilt with the same figuring as the above (same piece of wood).
Those are ready to go, just PM me if interested.
