A reso full of character that will love you for making her whole again Fred! I know not everyone will agree, but if you're not going down the 'original paint job' route then pick any colour you like. I would use a self priming acrylic wood paint. With a couple of coats you could go for that Duco broken finish we've talked about! Once the base coat is on in a colour you like you will be able to wipe any effect you don't like straight off and try again. You'll end up with a totally unique guitar! Keep us posted on developments, I'm sure you'll get lots of interest.
Best wishes and good health to you all, John

Looks fun Fred. What must it have sounded like? Not good I imagine! How many screws does it take to hold a biscuit in place? The plastic fitting made it look like a pie dish, must have stopped the cone resonating completely, which kinda defeats the object! As you say it's all there so will be a great restoration project. I wouldn't put anything to oily on the bare wood Fred, it might soak in and be a problem later. Good luck with it mate it'll be a good one when you're finished!
Best wishes and good health to you all, John

Mmmmmmm lovely little guitar. Got the parlour with the same coverplate sweet as a nut. I put a sixtus on it, terrific! A lovely guitar, but I really shouldn't! (Six months ago I wouldn't have been able even to think that thought)! Someone buy it, you won't see another one soon.
Best wishes and good health to you all, John

Hi PD. When you talk about the 'big beasties' I hope you're referring to guitars and not what's under your shirt! Lol! Best wishes and good health to you all, John

Hi Jono. Before you remove the backing put the pickguard where you want it. If it fits go ahead with installation. If it overhangs the rosette unevenly (ocd)! you can trim back with a craft knife. Go for it! Best wishes and good health to you all, John

Hi Jono. Most pickguards that you buy ready made are self adhesive. Peal of the backing plastic cover and place in position.
