ok so im looking to make a partscaster and i cant decide what to get! (for the record, the neck is 1pc maple, hardware is nickel/chrome, and the knobs/pup covers/switch tip/trem tip are bakelite)

here are the choices:
1. Olympic White w/ 1-ply white guard
2. Olympic White w/ anodized gold guard
3. 2-tone sunburst w/ 1-ply black guard

AHH!! lol

Stuco · June 2nd, 2011, 08:33 PM

option 1 or change it to 1 ply black guard

Choose the one you like. It's your guitar, you are the only one who has to like it.

Here's some samples to help you decide-

Yes. That's close to what I have.....

My sunburst Strat wears a white mother-of-toilet-seat guard.

Blonde with white, from your choices. you will never regret that. You may want something else down the road - but you'll never say "what was I thinking?"...

Sunburst is nice too, but I prefer white Pickguards on'em.

Shell Pink and surf green seem to be the "in" colors lately. they look nice as well - so I don't think you can go too far wrong

ichibanstar13 · June 3rd, 2011, 03:16 PM

guys i think im gunna hafta go with olympic white with a 1-ply black pickguard :)

I personally like black w/ black pickguard and white pickup covers but that isn't an option now, is it :)

I figure if I can't play like him I may as well look like him :) Plus, I think the colors look good regardless of who's playing!

SamClemons · June 3rd, 2011, 03:50 PM

I vote number 2. You don't see too many with the gold pickguard. White on white and black on white....are so run of the mill. Go for paisley or something. My current strat is Lake Placid Blue with white pickguard. I have a bass in natural with a tortise shell pickguard, that looks good also.

good point!! haha

How's about Two-tone burst with the gold anodized guard? Like a late 50's P-bass. I hate sunburst guitars, but I've got to admit that would look pretty tasty.

that with a maple neck and black plastic parts is tasty

Oly white with gold pickguard looks good.

Or the traditional S/B with white - classic finishes never go out of style!
