Pup Covers & Guards !

[danny-79]

So Ive got hold of a white pick up cover an white pick guard, (thanks Josh) the question is now in what configuration do i want them

Its been Black on black for a while so been swapping stuff around an thought id see what you guys all think.

No wrong answer, and all impute is much appreciated.
Its at present waring a black pick guard with the white pickup cover

All Black looks best with that color combo. I DO like the white with Lighter/Brighter colored finishes.

I think the Black pick guard/White pup cover makes the pickup pop! I dig!

 

[Aussie Mark]

All black, or black cover with tort guard.

gotta go with the black pg,but.........am torn between the white pup cover and the black one.............leaning towards white.

but yeah.....black pg for sure...........

I have always liked the white pickguard against a black pickup

 

[danny-79]

Thanks all so far,
Yeah i like the white cover, goes well with the B/W/B guard, but also like the look of it all black.
Got a sunburst 7ender strat that Ive had for years, its got the B/W/B guard with white covers etc on it, was trying to achieve "matching pair" but not to sure its worked out

Dan... I originally ordered the pair to go on a VSB so i am a bit biased. After many swaps i found i liked a tort guard and white cover best on the sunburst (a close second to the white on white). JOSH

I like the contrast of the black PG with the white cover. Brings out the dark outer of the body and really makes the figure of the wood pop out. John

black on black,thumbs up!

All black, or black cover with tort guard.

+1

Danny they all look great - I voted white pg black cover - simply because it looks very vintage 76/77 Ray and brings out the grain in the body. Hamish Stewart uses exactly the same combination in a 1977 DVD I have of Average White Band playing.

But seriously they all look great - you could just rotate them as the mood takes you (or you could do what Bernard Edwards seemed to do.........change from black to white dependent to match the colour of your clothes (suits in his case - though I doubt anyone wears white suits these days )

I initially tried the cover on my Buttercreme ray, always like the look of a white cover against a tort guard but it clashed horribly against the Buttercreme so came straight off it ( i did offer the tort guard against the sunburst Ray but it didn't look quite right to me ?)
Its all good fun !
Thanks again !

Rotation is the way forward !!
I like the look of them all so its a win win (just gotta settle on something or I'm going to be practicing scales as punishment for the rest of the year )
Hmmmm matching clothes, good one

All white for me dude ! Don't really like the black pg with the white cover. It looks like you got a new pg but couldn't get the cover

I think the Black pick guard/White pup cover makes the pickup pop! I dig!

+1 to that...
I always dug the white pickup covers.

 

[Nasty_Hitman]

All black 100% best !

 

[Enersha]

Black pick guard and cover with that color works for me

 

[nurnay]

I prefer the black on black, but the black cover on the white PG looks good, too.

 

[dmot002]

I would like to see a Cream pickup cover !!!!! I think it would look so classy with any combination of pickguard ..

 

[MattOfSweden]

All black got my vote hands down, with white pu cover black guard taking 2nd place.
