Members jkay Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'd say gold then torty. With white, you can pretty much go with anything, but I don't think there is one thing that you can put on it and say "thats it". With a sunburst guitar, you can go with black, torty, cream, mint green and hit a home run. But I love sunburst and not a fan of white guitars in general.

Members Artslinger Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 For some reason I think the leather would look cool... followed by the gold then mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's a very tough call between black and tortoise. Black does give it that nasty, dangerous edge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HamsterSandwich Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 I get the impression that tort lovers are in the minority here, but that's the way I'd go if it were mine. Tortoise on white, black and some natural tones look great to me, particularly with maple fret boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 Yeah, I'd say either mint or anodized gold. Or... maybe one of those guards made of wood. Something with nice grain, but not too figured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kulardenu Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 Has anyone done stuff like this with their pick guards? I have been thinking about doing a single color of the Splatter Style with one of mine. Feet might be cool too if their little ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted April 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 1, 2010 Black just doesn't seem to fit on a white Fender for some reason. Maybe because they never put black guards on white guitars...until now. Some of those specialty guards you folks posted are cool, but I'm gonna stop short of the American flag. Also, the tooled leather is ok, if you're Waylon Jennings, which I'm not. I'll keep looking at your responses. Some cool ideas. There's also a mirrored version and this black pearloid: Then, there's this engraved El Dorado for $279! or paisley: But the black just doesn't look natural to me.

Members schoolie1 Posted April 1, 2010 Members Share Posted April 1, 2010 Another idea that I like is to buy a clear pickguard. Then glue some fancy Japanese or Indian paper to the bottom. Paisley would be cool. ...That sounded very artsy crafty, didn't it:facepalm: I would say, just play it. I always dull me black pickguards with some fine steel wool which gives them a nice look.

Members Mogwai Posted April 1, 2010 Members Share Posted April 1, 2010 Can I get a quick review of that Tele? Im in the market for one right now, and am considering a American Special, Highway one or maybe a Roadworn. Oh yeah, put a gold pickguard on that.

Members I.P. Freeley Posted April 1, 2010 Members Share Posted April 1, 2010 Stock or this in black. The pickguard was the only non leather covered part on the body of Waylon's tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
