Hey, it's only a pickguard, if you decide it was a bad idea you can easily put the old one back on. It's YOUR guitar, do whatever YOU want. :cool:

Heck, yeah. You only go around once. I wouldn't use real glass, though.

Well, I guess you'd just have to "see" for yourself.

On reflection, I think it's a bit '70s - early '80s

What ever you like as stated above you can change it easily so try what you think you like.

When I've been in the audience, and someone on stage had a mirrored pickguard (or guitar), one flash of reflected light in my eye and I was no longer interested in looking at that guitar or guitarist (a mental A.H. fixed next to his name for future reference). I've never been interested in illiciting such response from my audience, so I wouldn't do it.

Nope from me too. A black pickguard is about as adventurous as I'd get on sunburst.

I say do it! For sure!! But first, paint the body pink and install a floyd!
