                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm still working on my second of three '51 projects -- almost done.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Black tuners &amp; pickguard screws might really finish off the black one.  You have to see the pickguard in person to appreciate the bada@@ look it conveys with the rest of the guitar.  Guitar fetish has some pickguards I might try, or I might have the folks at Jeannies carve me out a clear one for the sunburst.  I already have some bigger pickguard screws in it, so I can't go back to the normal size, &amp; I'm not sure I could fill them very well.  It looks great without a PG, but now I have big holes all over the front of the body.]]></content:encoded>
