Help Me Choose A Pickguard

[ryevick]

Which of these 4 pickguards would you choose for this Stratocaster?

[Chickee]

None of the above. None work with that rosewood board. Either go tortoise or white.
Black suit, brown shoes never works.

I thought about this, or black or a parchment/white/cream as well.

That's what I had on it when I bought it and I didn't really care for it. It's just boring to me. It feels it looks very generic and uninspiring. I can't think of anyone who uses that configuration, though I'm sure some due.

Can you think of anyone who uses the other combos?

The blue is defintely unusual. Green pearl might be interesting.

I do kind of agree with Chickee that the black along with the pretty brown/red RW fretboard might not be the best combo.

If not tort, I'd probably go with and aged white, personally.

I think this would be cool.

For that one, I'd be going w/three ply beveled (white/black/white) Aged White Pearloid

I first heard that from comedian George Goebbel on the Tonight Show, hosted by Johnny Carson, way back in the day!!

In todays world, it no longer holds true, lol!

I remember that! He asked Johnny if he had ever felt like life was a tuxedo and he was a pair of brown shoes.

Of what you showed, I like #1 best. But, I'm a fan of tortoise color on a white strat, that's what I have on my Frankenstrat.

I think anything is better than that blue guard though.

Nice guitar!
I love tortoise for acoustic, but for your example, I would choose #3. I LOVE the splashes of blue. JMO. Happy hunting and play on! Jan 🎸

I'd go with #1

[Rosette]

Mint green or tortoise would be my vote
