Curious on your opinions of my '97 Lone Star's makeover. All I did was change the original moto pickguard to black.

Here's the before:

Here are a few after shots:

I'm digging it big time. I think there's better contrast of that beautifully tinting neck and body now. Do you think it looked before before or how it looks now?

I really like the black pick guard over the white marble. Good decision!

I like the black better between the two for sure.

Tons better in black. I really like the all black with maple fretboard combo.

The black pg gives it a more vintage look. Good decision!

I concur, the black rocks! I like that you left in the white pickups and knobs, they look cool against the black, and ya don't see that combination too often. Beautiful axe!

Yeah me too...it looks more killer in the black pg. The white pups and knobs contrast nicely with it. Very cool.
