    Thanks hot rock - just found this site from the Fender Discussion Page, right up my street. Weez - if you go into a bar and ask the bar staff for a "Double Entendre", they will probably give you one.

    You could roughen up the guard with some wire wool or kitchen scourer where you might reasonably expect pickwear (less is more here, in my opinion!), and use instant coffee rather than the gourmet stuff (Pulp Fiction is quite wrong!), and lots of it; some people add a (SMALL) amount of green food dye into the mix to simulate that 'greening' with age. Be prepared for it to take a while (I had a strat guard in an oven tray in the bottom of the oven for a week - I only cook in the microwave..). the strat pickguard discoloured a treat, and actually looks older and more "authentic" than the original guard on my 76 - go figure. Check the progress periodically if you're the kind of person who worries if they have left the iron on.. good luck
