(I should have titled it Pickguards on a 3 color sunburst)
Ok guys here's the story. My original guard that came stock on my MIM 60s Strat was 3 ply white against a rosewood neck. Classic and pretty typical. Eventually I got tired of that look and bought me a wicked tortoise shell pickguard and DANG that looked killer. I recently bought a maple neck for that guitar and decided that the tortoise shell didn't really "go" with the maple neck so I put the original white pickguard back on. The more I look at the guitar now the more I want to change it...again. I thought of a mint guard but mint doesn't look so swell against a maple neck....BUT it looks absolutely perfect against a rosewood neck. If you were to change the pickguard what might you do? Again here are the specs...
60s 3 tone sunburst body
Satin finished maple neck
Aged pickup/knob covers
...give me some more ideas for pickguards.
