I had these mini dome knobs.. tele style. with abalone inserts .. which really looked good with the green.. but they were nearly hidden in snakeskin color..
so I went with those chicken heads.. I like 'em!

white background would do it.. but right now it's ice covered snow so I'll skip that!

They come with the knobs too far forward in the guard.. a little sweep with picking and you'd knock that vol. control every time.
so I moved 'em back. had to take a little material off but no biggee. very odd shaped route.. like a figure 8 sort of.. so the pots were joined by a narrow route.. so I don't think I did it any damage.
besides these things only cost around a hundred bucks.

the shapes not for everyone.. a jaguar with a sort of explorer or firebird butt on it.
But I dig it..

Now I just gotta get me a flying car..
