I didn't care for the mint green pickguard on my CVC.... I tried on a '52 black bakelite and a white guard from a roadworn tele.

Which do you prefer?

Rich_S · January 23rd, 2011, 01:54 PM

White.

ANYTHING but mint green

Racer5 · January 23rd, 2011, 02:00 PM

Black

krispynoodlez · January 23rd, 2011, 02:03 PM

That white guard looks perfect on there imo, I like the black too though, bit more unique looking

dada · January 23rd, 2011, 02:07 PM

Black looks class...

Jason G · January 23rd, 2011, 02:20 PM

I think I like the Black, especially since you have the white(ish) binding. I think the black guard would get a bit lost if not for the binding.

Actually, a layered Black over white or a BWB pickuard would accomplish a similar look but form a nice defining line around the pickguard.

Either way, that is a fine looking instrument!

take care,

Jason G

Oh, I like the white, but I just wanted to get a feel from my tele brethren as to what the concensus was....

Frog · January 23rd, 2011, 02:53 PM

im feeling the black.
you tried a tortoiseshell on it?

Awesome looking

Night Prowler · January 23rd, 2011, 03:02 PM

I went with aged white on mine, which has a very similar burst finish as yours, except mine doesn't have the white bindings. Thanks for posting the pics with both plates, helped me solidify white was the right choice for me.

I like the black I agree with an earlier posted that a B/W/B would look fab with the white binding.

Nice tele!
