I bought an NF3 a while back. Love it. It gets played all the time and is my primary guitar for my current blues project. But I never got along with the way it looked. I yanked the black pick guard and slapped on a white one. That didn't float my boat either. So I took a ride on the ol' interwebs in search of someone to make me a custom guard.
I found a dude on TGP with the same color NF3 who had a guard made by Bill Asher. It was swanky so I dialed-up Bill and he agreed to make me one. Dear mother of sweet baby Jeebus... it was stupid money but the results are solid.
I added some snakewood knobs from Crazy Parts here in Deutschland. I also added some unplated brass tremolo saddles from John Mann. They were too blingy in their original high-gloss state so I brushed them with some 400 grit. Here is the finished product.
Swapping out the stock saddles for unplated and brushed saddles (G, B, and E incomplete in this photo).
