I really lucked out with the SR5 as it is a one piece body. Its a gorgeous finish. I thought about getting a shell pickguard but actually like the black pearl with the orange.
For the SR4 I was considering a clear pickguard but I really like the way it looks wit the black.
I bought some plastic polish today and will give the black pickguard a good buff tonight to see if it can be restored to new condition. I will advise of results.
