Good idea. A friend of mine had suggested the same thing. He had the idea of heat-forming the extra material to the existing steering wheel. I'm not sure how accurately that would work. Do you have any idea where I could find a pearl/pearloid steering wheel? Or maybe where I could get mine done?

So here it is. I got the idea to do this to my dash when a friend of mine brought over his new fender american series strat (truly a beautiful sight). It was tangerine with a white pearloid pickguard. After seeing the guitar I was inspired to paint my b310 with House of Kolor Tangelo paint and cover the dash with pickguard material (I chose black because I had already planned on changing the interior to black). Now let me tell ya, this stuf was an absolute bitch to find. I looked up a ton of pickguard manufacturers but could only find a small amount of material, not to mention the material was 4-ply, which made it too thick and expensive. I went as far to call Fender and their manufacturer in China (I did hear back from China and the material with shipping was about 25 USD). Eventually I was directed to a vendor in my area called Jammin Sam (www.jamminsam.com). He had the amount of material I need and the cost was only about 32 USD, not too shabby.
