Congrats, beautiful guitar! I'd do a dark tortoiseshell pickguard below with a gold top guard and oven knobs...

David, I have pictures of your guitar being restored (binding added, painting process, etc.) if you're interested.

That's one of the great deals of the year. It would cost almost $3K to duplicate these days.

The original color was Monte Brown. I always use conversion varnish on Ricks built roughly mid-'59 or after.

Thanks Paul, I would appreciate the pictures.
I've used your Scratch-x Xymol treatment very successfully on other guitars.
Its a lovely guitar and the finish and binding make it unique.

I'm going to put oven knobs on it and go back to a gold top guard.

Cheers, David

Please post photos when it's all dressed out!

Glad you're going to do the gold guard. That tortise shell just don't look right, IMO.

Hey David - I noticed there's a gold top guard on Ebay if you're looking for one.
