White on black looks like a cheap, ill-fitting, threadbare rental tuxedo on a pimply-faced teenager, always.
You know what to do.

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

OK, sorry, everyone, but something came up.
I looked on Reverb and found part of a Nashville Telecaster (3 pickup) Kinman set. It's just the neck and middle pickup and importantly the no-solder harness. Still, it was a very good deal so I snapped it up.
The American Standards were all routed for middle pickups and also for humbuckers under there. So that one will end up a three pickup Telecaster down the road with some kind of aluminum pickguard, that'll be a little harder to source. I'll ask the paisley guys if they can make one.
But for now, it'll be the AVRI that gets the upgrades.
Sorry, everyone... I was going to bow to the common wisdom but I had to hop on the used deal since Kinman stuff isn't all that common used.

You fucked us, Larry! You fucked us all!
Hopefully the AVRI's black pickguard will fit on the other one.

I know, I know. If it's any consolation, I won't be putting any purple on anything and I have accepted I'm not Prince.

I will be taking this personally, it's my favorite color.
To be fair I look more like J Mascis than Prince these days, but it's not like there's a third famous guitar player known for his love of purple.

Honestly, my original idea was just to put a black aluminum pickguard on there and make it just be black on black.
Then I discovered the paisley and that really caught my eye. I don't get to have any of them paisley Telecasters and Jazzmasters I keep seeing everyone around here have, but I can get in on the action a little bit anyway!
