Alternative Dargie Pickguard (esp. Bongo)

[dje31]

Blasphemous as this might sound, has anyone swapped out another color p/g on your Dargie, v1 or v2? Trying to imagine what color/style might go well with it, besides the basic black that comes standard.

I've always liked a contrast between the p/g and the pickups, but not sure one of the white/pearloid would work, esp. on the v2 that flips from green to caramel.

For that matter, it might look dandy sans p/g altogether. I'd be curious as to how that looks, if anyone has pics.

I have a Bongo 4HH DDII and love the way it looks. As far as switching a different pick guard with it though, maybe the pearloid black, abalone or pearloid emerald green one would be cool?

I put an abalone guard on my DD2 and it looked great. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics.

A nice pimento color

Here's DDII with abalone... the PG matches the fretboard inlays nicely...

That's pretty sharp. Nice, complementary contrast.

Boosh to ivbenaplayin!

Anyone else out there? Doesn't have to be a Bongo...just as long as it's a Dargie.

My Dargie2 also sports abalone and I think it looks great.

Get a custom PG in yellow, like
the throat of most green frogs,
for the obvious reason.

Nice look with the abalone, stands out!

As a huge fan of abalone (and paisley), I say it matches the Dargie perfectly!

What? No votes for tort?!

Clear

I replaced my DD2's with a clear pick guard. Wanted more of that color showing. I have a trans teal SR and replaced it's PG with one from a copper head SR and it looks great. I've always wanted to know what it would look like on the DD however my DD is an HH (that's too many abbreviations in one post for me)

copperhead looks good on anything.. heres mine. Black magic Crystal.

I think its time to take some new family pictures.

I have a thing for Black Pearloid pickguards...so that's what I put on my DDII. Here's a few simple cell phone pics...I'm not even going to try and take a "good" picture of this finish

 

[dje31]

I must say that the clear / no pickguard looks pretty sharp, nsh50a!

 

[dje31]

That black pearloid works nicely, DonScott.

Of those listed, I think I like the abalone, black pearloid & clear/none best, in no particular order.

Can't believe no tort so far! Isn't that supposed to go with everything ?!

Maybe a swirl of some sort?
