Yeah, thats exactly what i'm hoping/thinking too
As it's been sanded already (though i'd fine-sand it more), it seems like a good plan.
And again, it won't please the purists, but as the pickguard is scratched to buggary, i may try paint it black. That would go nicely with any amber-stained body.

For the tone"cap", you can get them at any Radio Shack (2... for $1.19), or a pack of 'em (100 assorted caps) for around $2.00!
If you want a brighted tone, just use a smaller value "cap" (.022,..versus a .047 "normal" cap).
Norm, i misread that till today. I thought you were on about the pickup caps or tone knobs, not the capacitors. Showing my ineptness even more
Just checked ebay.de and seems i can choose between .022, .033, .047 and .068. I think i'll go for the 47 as the pickups sounded pretty bright at the moment.
