    Default Lone Star Strat Makeover

    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?

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