Pickguard before and after....

Thought I'd change my pickguard colour for something to do:

After:

It's like day and night. I prefer the pearloid one though now.

I like the pearloid better. Nice axe!

I thought black was better... Well, nice guitar nonetheless!

Definitely the pearl pickguard. Nice Rick by the way, your real name isn't Peter Buck by any chance?

As a recent black-to-white convert myself, I approve!

I love the pearloid on such rich-looking dark wood. Well, to be honest, what I love most is the wood. The white guard just seems to work better with it. That's just my aesthetic. I suppose thats why there are different guards and you can play with a black guard one night, a pearl guard the next, and maybe a nice brushed aluminum another night. (I think brushed aluminum on such dark wood would look *hot*)

on a red body.
