Members Alex Pareja Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'm thinking dark tortoise or clear pickguard. Or none? This is for a project guitar I'm building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alex Pareja Posted August 30, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 I was thinking the same cause I really don't need a pickguard however I do like how the shape and outline compliments the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JimboJ Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 Black always looks best on natural wood IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiltsta Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 I agree with JimboJ, black is the best answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carbohydrates Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 None or black. You don't wanna distract from the wood with something textured like pearl or tort, and you'll want something to contrast the light top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Electric Monk Posted August 31, 2010 Members Share Posted August 31, 2010 *Scene: a lumber mill:Steve: "Ay, Bill! Lookee here!" Bill: "What the hell's done gone into that tree, Steve?" Steve: "Looks like some kinda mold's been eatin' away at it... gross. Nobody will buy furniture made of this {censored}." Bill: "What on earth can we use tiny scraps of this for? I mean... The wood's not BAD, but it's being eaten away by a fungus. It won't bear any weight or anything." Steve: "Who's stupid enough to buy something like that?"

Members Furtive Posted August 31, 2010 Members Share Posted August 31, 2010 This one is mine (Raven West 570T), I think spalted definitely looks better without a guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
