Members philthygeezer Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 What do you figure? Pick any of the ones you really like from the list. Maple fretboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'd still go naked, but if you must have a pick guard, go tort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretless Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 it looks damn good in Cream , I went with black though , can we see it in a single ply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hammer744 Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 First choice is Tort, second choice would be white pearloid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Bass Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 If you really have to put a pickguard on then make it a single ply black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mytola Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 Preferably rear-routed body with no pickguard. But if you HAVE to have one, black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hunter6 Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 Maple, Ebony, or Rosewood board? Matching headstock or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philthygeezer Posted November 23, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 Maple, Ebony, or Rosewood board? Matching headstock or not? Maple board, no matching headstock. Body is standard Fender front-routed. Here's a clear plexi guard. I wonder how the routes will look through the pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'd go nekkid. Otherwise, black pearl first, solid black second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catphish Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 White pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xOriginalNinjax Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 usually I'm a black PG fan (or a pearl based on black) but that white pearl looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave Campbell Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 Nice job on the illustrated choices, btw. No gold anodized? The clear one looks pretty decent, too.{censored}, man, glad I'm not in your shoes... too many choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dark Slide Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 If it were me, I would just take a plain white one if I had to have one. I dislike pick guards, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xOriginalNinjax Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 I still think after looking at it, that I like the chrome control cover and pickup surround best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The images are just of colours in the Warmoth repertoire. I'm going to order the pickguard from them to ensure that all future pickguards will line up properly with holes etc. They've been using the same template for a very long time. Of course, I could email the other places and find out if they do to a standard Warmoth spec... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philthygeezer Posted November 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 It's here - will see how the pickup fits in the route tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mike fitzwell Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'd go nekkid. Otherwise, black pearl first, solid black second. +1. Black on that with a maple FB. Anything but tort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BottomHeavyKate Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 i'd go with clear if you HAD to have something. Black second. Just none of those guards look right with that finish to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members philthygeezer Posted November 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's going to be the alter-ego of the one on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philthygeezer Posted November 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 I tried a couple of pickguards from the Stingray, just laying them on the body to see contrast/style, and the white pearl definitely has it over the black. In fact, we think a white pearl pickguard will look sharper than no pickguard. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
