Members Mike Fiasco Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 I had a black with white and suffered low self esteem. I put in a tortoise and the ladies came running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slodge Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 When I see a black strat with a white pickguard, it makes me want to smash it.Seriously.It's like a beige Toyota Camry.The world just needs less of them. Speaking as someone who owns both a black strat with a white pickguard and a beige Toyota Camry, I take offense. Actually, no I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slodge Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 The reason for this is simple - No one in the history of the world ever said "you're out of sunburst finishes? Okay, I guess I'll settle for shell pink." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wagdog Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 I have a black on black strat with black pups and black tuners and a rosewood neck. It's black. I like it. If a strat has a white pg, imo, it should have black trim, i.e. tuxedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Another Brick Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 Not quite a strat, but the only choice at CG when I bought my Squier p-bass was black with a white pick gaurd. Now I see them in different colors. I should have waited......and bought something completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DARKMETL/ Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 Agree with the Double J on this one. Please, if you have a NGD, please put in the title that it is black Strat with white pickguard content inside please...so I can skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Guitar Heel Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 This is actually the way I feel about red strats with white pickguards. My formative years were in the 80's I guess, and it seemed like every asshat on MTV had a red strat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members axegrinder Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 pickguard selection is everything. This one (on the right) has grown a little boring to me. The neck is going on a different bod one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inkblot Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'm partial to the Gilmour look - black body, b/w/b guard, white knobs/pickups, maple neck. My strat is black with the b/w/b guard but has a rosewood neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My strat is black with the b/w/b guard but has a rosewood neck. Do you have pictures? I'd like to see. I love my sunburst but sometimes I wish it were black so I could swap out the pickguard to a black one and stuck white pg covers and so forth on there.

Members slodge Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 Sorry, man. I didn't realize I was taking out two birds w/ one stone. In truth, I'm kinda having a moment here. My strat was actually black on black with black covers/knobs. When I replaced the stock PUPS with TexMex's, I also went with white knobs, and now I've got the Gilmour look. But the beige Toyota is still a beige Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members omg_otters Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 Are there any 3 ply black pick guards without the white stripe around them? 1 ply pick guards seem sorta cheap like to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
