@AndyTravisput a pickguard on his orange 414 which looked fantastic. No reason you couldn't reverse the pickup on a 414 and do that. I've reversed the pickup on my 424x. A straight reversal puts the pickup right on the edge of the standard pickguard. I moved it slightly neckwards and put an exaggerated curve in the pickguard to make it visually right. If anyone wants a template just shout. I'm considering doing the same to my 734a and making a pickguard more like the old 70s BB1000 etc with the pointed bottom edge.

Probably '76 to '86 for me, and born in '73 so not my teenage years. Just so much great stuff going on. British Punk, second wave of Ska, Mod and Northern Soul revival and the way they all had crossovers. The NY Punk scene centring around CBGB's. The emerging electronic music. New Wave, New Romantics, Post Punk. The beginning of Hip Hop and Rap. NWOBHM, early Thrash, Hair and Glam Metal. Good old early 80's pop music. Styles were changing so fast. Between mid seventies and mid eighties there were huge musical changes. Most mid eighties songs couldn't have even been dreamt of in the mid seventies.

The trouble with painting chrome is that as it's so hard it's difficult to get a good key. It usually ends up chipping and looking worse. Maybe look at vinyl wrap, or indeed any kind of sticky vinyl type tape. Warm the corners to shrink into place. That may well wear over time and possible mark/split over the screws or pole pieces but you can easily replace every once in a while if needed easier/neater than repainting/touching up.

ENR72s are my go to string. I like the combination of low string noise, solid bottom and 'worn round' top end, decent amount of tension and last a long time, in fact I've only ever changed them if I've broken one.
