Members no fate Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 I just bought a nice 2008 Fender American Deluxe Strat in Olympic White Pearl. It has the stock tortoise pickguard, but I am not really a fan of those. I was wondering if anyone here could suggest a pickguard color that would suit this particular finish? Pics with examples would also be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 Aged/cream pearl with black pickup covers and knobs is pretty sexy on an olympic white or vintage white guitar. I think it looks a lot better than standard white pearl. This pic makes it seem like a subtle difference, but in my opinion, going from the guitar body to the aged pearl looks a like more intentional than going from white to the VERY white pearl. Other than that, I think olympic white with a cream or parchment pickguard and cream covers and knobs looks great with a maple neck or olympic white with a mint green guard and cream knobs and covers looks great with a rosewood fretboard.

Members HanSolo Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 Does your Pearl white look like this one? It came with the aged plastics and parchment pickguard like the MIM 60th but is a 6oth USA that may have had a body swap. I am putting a white pearl pickguard and white plastics on it this weekend. I'll post a pic when its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 's mel gibson Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 Gold on white does look classy but on a Strat, that's too much gold. I say tortoise shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
