vote for a pickguard

BLACK WITHOUT A DOUBT! It's the new black!

 

[Psycho Ward]

OK, but remember what a black pickguard does around 1.6k...

Tort looks better with rosewood, black with maple.

I really love tort (it's the old...it's the new...nevermind) but prefer black on natural

I agree with adouglas on white...ick

heyya aStevie Stingray, sorry , I've got no pics to prove my point but I can testify that my latest sR5H Piezo was special ordered Natural/ and rosewood with Abalone p/g and is totallystunning... at firstthe lads at the shop thought I was crazy , until the bass arrived from SLO and they saw it in real life; I'm hooked on it and alls I can say is " if you feel like taking a real zippity Doo Dah chance, you'lll see what I mean when you try it .. from a fashion point of view, there is a verygolden coloured flec in the abalone p/g that really works with the blondie colour of a Natural SRash bodyand the dark abalone colours contrast very nicely...

the word "ELEGANT" comes to mind ... as does " STYLE"or "MODERNE"

/PL

ps CAUTION If you're up for the ZIPPITY DOO DAH chanceof a lifetime, Wimmin find it irrsistably attractiveeven if you can''''''t play bass worth a hoot

did you get any pics of this yet i would love to see it!!

So I've recently acquired a beautiful Stingray from a senior member of this fine, fine forum.

It's a natural finish, but I'm thinking of changing the pickguard. Pictured are 1 of the 3 options I'm considering.

What do you think?

Black
White
Tort
Other

Abalone is theZippity Doo Dah way to go with Natural & rosewood
"TRUST ME"!

Tort looks better with rosewood, black with maple.

exactly my thoughts.

 

[StevieStingray]

well, i decided to order the tort [and then a bunch of you voted black!]

unfortunately no pics yet...

when i placed the order @ my local EB MM retailer, they said about "3 months"

?!?!?!

apparently, they won't ship one accessory - they'll ship it along with a large order [like a guitar or 2]

anyhoo... once it's in, and installed, I'll post pics ASAP

thanks again for the feedback

It's more likely that your retailer doesn't want to pay for the shipping.

 

[StevieStingray]

just to close this thread, my tort pickguard finally arrived recently

i just slapped it on and snapped a pic

thought i'd share it with y'all... thanks to those who voted

i'm pretty happy with it. i must admit, though, that black would look cool too. hmm...

thanks again,
steve

Go Abalone next.

Looks great. I'm not usually a big fan of natural, but with the rosewood neck and the tort guard it's nice.
