Something coming, want some opinions.

[Sweat]

Alright I have been comtemplating what to add recently, the one requirement being must have a piezo, thought about ordering something or seeing if i could find something in stock I liked.

Well the last week has been rough on the fingbeagle family, wont get into it yet but made the decision of what to bring in easy.

So coming soon is a new AL with piezo and MM-90's.

What I want opinions on is a replacement pickguard color. I hate plain black and plain white PG.

So let me know what you think would look good on this. thanks knuckleheads

I'm partial to tort, especially on an orange-ish color body, i.e. see avatar.

As you know, I hate tort on orange! Go abalone.

My opinion is that white pearl would look best. The contrast of the black pups is so sweet!

I'm not a huge fan of tort, but i think it works in this case.

Now these pics are obviously trans. red and not trans. orange, but the colours are close enough that it might help you visualize these guards.

I love it when Foggy has suggestions, cause he always backs it up with photos! giving us all a lot of fun (and photos to steal!, im catching up with you!)

 

[fogman]

how about an Orange Swirl pickguard????
I dare you!!!!!
You can be the first one to have one!!!!

 

[fogman]

im catching up with you!

I think that might be like trying to be the same age as your parents. They're always going to be that much ahead of you!

Fogs, ya got that with white pickups and knobs?

Black on orange is too Halloweenish for me.

Another vote for Fogman's white tort.

no white. not with MM90s or Tort anyways.

Thanks, Foggy.

I personally like this the best because it doesn't introduce colors not already present in the guitar. The black goes with the pickups and the white sort of goes with the chrome tremolo.

I think tort would look better if the fingerboard was rosewood, otherwise, you are introducing brown where there is no brown. I just don't like too many colors going on at the same time. Too much visually.

i know this defeats the purpose of this thread, but I don't mind this.

you're welcome!
I think both guards will be awesome. Order away. I can't wait to see them.

I'd say black pealoid would work the best...Just my 2 pennies

White Ice... for sure.
