A little while ago, I mentioned here that I'd finally found the original scratchplate, pickup covers, volume/tone controls and selector switch for my mid-80s ST55 Goldstar; and also that I was surprised at how dark yellow/cream the controls had become. I posted a link to a pic of the guitar with the controls reinstated. Mirrorboy said this was now the correct look for the guitar, and Iain agreed, saying that this was the "right but wrong" look. I've now put all the original plastic back in place, but because I wanted some consistency, even if at the cost of authenticity, I first subjected the pickup covers to the coffee treatment. I'm pleased with the result, and there's a photo here:

Incidentally, if anyone can tell me how I can incorporate a photo, rather than a link, into the text, I'd be grateful.
