God, that turned out beautiful, Paul!PJazzmaster wrote:Setup of the day
I say nay on the first one, I don't like it. Your guitar is too classy for that pickguard, I think it distracts from the beautiful lines of the guitar. The second option is intriguing, I think a plain gold anodized pickguard would look killer in this guitar with your tort control plates. A plain black pickguard would also work really nicely here.raphaël wrote:

I'm a pickguard freak, I am never happy with them, I'm very picky. I used to really don't like black pickguards, and gold pickguards with chrome hardware...but with this one I'm really into black, I guess.carron wrote:The second option is intriguing, I think a plain gold anodized pickguard would look killer in this guitar with your tort control plates.

Dude, It is really whatever you like. I think this guitar is going to be great. The worn finish is spectacular.raphaël wrote:It has been removed already
If you have a black ply pickguard with the white bevel strip, it really ties the guitar together. Black goes great with the tort control plates, the white bevel would be enough to delineate the pickguard outline upper right edge against the black worn finish, and the bevel would tie well with the parchment pickup covers and fingerboard dot inlays. But looks are subjective of course, so whatever rocks your boat. This guitar is looking great to me though, and how you had it originally, with the plain parchment pickguard looked great too.raphaël wrote: this one I'm really into black, I guess.
I will order a cheap chinese one (and maybe a gold one too ) and see how it looks!!!
