Silver and Torte: Strangely Appealing!

[b-unit]

I owned this lovely 2010 lefty SR5 for a few years and then foolishly traded it away last year. She came back to me in another trade deal this weekend and I decided to replace the Black Pearl guard with a new factory Torte one I had on hand. My wife thinks its a hideous color combo but I like it! Love to hear some opinions.

I think it's incredibly appealing!!!
PG look like an extension of the fretboard in a cool way.

I'll give that a "NICE!!!"

Thanks mtrejo, I agree the torte seems to blend with the rosewood nicely!

Love the combo.

Can't go wrong with Tort and, as above, looks like an extension of the fretboard

nice combo indeed, makes it look a bit less modern.

EBMM's tort is nice!

Looks great!

Have to agree with the majority, it looks really nice!

I'm as anti-tort as they come...

... but that looks REAL good. Congratulations.

My first thoughts was this was going to suck, but since I have a Silver Bongo I had to check it out.

Actually its really cool. White goes with tort, why not silver?

Thanks guys. I like it more and more. The Black Pearl with Silver was indeed a bit "modern" for my tastes. I usually go for the transparent finishes if at all possible but the silver looks great and has quite a bit of sparkle to it in the right light. The EBMM torte is indeed a nice shade. I have torte on my True Gold Bongo and its just killer. I have some extra lefty pick guards in various colors if anyone is looking for something.

Big fan of tort here, on anything. Except maybe CAR

I like it too. When it comes to guitars/basses, tort is like black...goes with just about everything.
