Well you still have the guitar to play and the pickguard to think about. Guitars are great but babies are better - congratulations!
I think the tortoise with white trim is certainly the classiest and nicest.Originally Posted by Lev
I don't like the gold really, it's kinda dated looking.
If it were mine, I might just go plain white or black. I like simple impact colors, no frills or many different colors. That's why all my guitars are simply white with white pickguards.

When you get around to installing it, don't use a drill, unless you just use a bit like a reamer turning it with your fingers. The best tool for that job is actually a tapered reamer. It's only a tiny amount of material that needs removal, and the stuff is pretty softOriginally Posted by Lev

Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.
Mine is a goldish copper snakeskin style that looks great on the Blizzard pearl. Aged white pearl on the CV 50s.

I switched out my white pickguard on my "blackie" Stratocaster to a white perloid which I got from Musician's Friend for only $9.98. Everywhere else, it was at least three times as expensive. It makes my Strat look much more elegant.
