Earlier AI study of The Heirloom's pickguard shape in natural leather, with a fine inset border, beside a darkened steel dogear P-90 cover and two dome knobs on walnut.
Earlier AI study of the pickguard shape in natural leather. The selected outline is retained with an amber-to-tobacco sunburst finish.
The signature guard

One fine line. A clean edge.

A slim lower sweep that follows the single-cut body and leaves the walnut exposed.

Vegetable-tanned leather with the Jack's amber-to-tobacco sunburst, treated with neatsfoot oil. One fine inset crease follows the edge. The face stays flat, the crease stays shallow, and the edge is smoothly burnished.

Materials

Warm walnut. Quiet metal.

A flat walnut top, softly rounded edges, and a hand-rubbed Tru-Oil finish.

The planned hardware finish is smoky charcoal with soft nickel highlights, referenced to JAX-blackened nickel. The steel dogear cover, wraparound bridge, dome knobs, tuners, and fasteners share that restrained finish.
