I already took off the white pick guard and was thinking about trying to find black replacements for the hardware, as mine is also the 'natural' color. My Coupe's hardware is worn, looks like it was gold, and the trapeze piece is slightly bent. I would love to know if these were mods or if they are original.
BTW I was wondering if I saw a silver tremalo and black dog-ear pick up covers and knobs on your Coupe. Now I know where to find protection for my Coupe. Sir, I was scrolling around like Pete to trying to get info to find a case for my 2018 Casino Coupe I just got and found your advice and comments.
