The original scheme was the standard white pickguards and white TRC, and the standard black control knobs with the brushed silver centers.

Nice one, Ron! :D

I did the same thing back in '07...... Monty Brown with gold is something special IMO.

Very nice Ron! 8)

I think the gold guards and oven knobs work great with Monty Brown.
Never really like Monty until i saw it with gold guards,it just looks so much better to me.

Looks great! A set of toasters (or cover on your high gains) would finish it off.

Ron, that was a tidy little project that produced eye-catching results. The MB looks stunning. Props to you, bruddah.....Goofyfoot.
Play on, pick often, jam with any Rickenbacker, and prosper.

Good job, Ron. Thass a honey! Monty Brown is so bold and masculine, and the gold sets it off so nicely. 8) 8)
