IMHO if you really want a 70's look the pickguard should go back on 🙂

I might replace the cream i got with a black

So, the new studs are for the ABR bridge, correct?   You changed knobs and added pickup covers, too ... correct?

Correct nothin` more fancy than that 🙂

I think your guitar looks awesome.  Going for a 70s look is especially cool as it really provides some uniqueness.  And ... yes, definitely black over cream for the pick-guard.  If you do go the pick-guard route, post some more pics.  I know that I would love to see it.

Looks a neat job. Real nice look. 👍

I have been wondering about trying nylon saddles for a while. I've done a little research. This is one thing I found. It seems Bonamassa experimented with them and ended up using 3 nylon and 3 steel on his LP link . 

Very few buying options in uk though. Also very expensive for an experiment.

Joe has the cash and gear, we don't.
