Changing of the Guard

[just strum]

What do you think?

The gold one sort of becomes the focal point, the black one makes the red pop.

Thoughts?

 

[ragnarpk]

black all the way! looks awesome.. i don't like the black pickups with the gold guard and then the red guitar. not working for me..

 

[Blaze]

Black looks good ...

 

[marnold]

I'm kind of surprised to say that I think I actually like the gold better in that context.

I think it's the flow with the maple neck. I'm undecided, plus I can't locate a black pearloid pickguard at a decent price (GFS pricing).

I vote gold. I think the black/grey guard makes the guitar look kind of gloomy.

 

[tjcurtin1]

I like the gold, and agree that it's the flow with the neck - and just more pizzazz than the black.

 

[WackyT]

I vote for the gold guard also.

 

[mrmudcat]

Well in my opinion I like the gold it goes really well with the neck contrasting with the red body and the black plastic/hardware/and pups pop off of that.

I've been waiting for you to chime in. I know you have a soft spot in your heart for Strats and I figured it was only a matter of a short time before I heard from you.

black = :AOK:

5 = gold

3 = black

 

[bigoldron]

5 = gold

3 = black

Make it "6 = gold"! :AOK:

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I am going with the gold in this context. Flows well, pops well, and is just different than many you see.

 

[sumitomo]

I like the gold also,like you said the contrast with the maple.Sumi

 

[Kazz]

I like the black. It goes well with all the other black items....the gold...not so much.

 

[Ch0jin]

It surprises me a little to say, but for me it's gold without hesitation. I just find that combination more visually appealing.

I think it's the flow with the maple neck. ...

Between those 2 choices, chalk up another vote for Gold, as that's what I see, too. Also pops all the black hardware on the body instead of burying it.

Any thought to not-pearloid....like Creme w/ black/c/b edges?

I thought about that also. Right now it's staying gold, but in the future...

 

[M29]

That is a sweet looking axe Mark. I would go gold as well.

[pytolk]

i like the black, its more subtle. i also have a thing for black pearl so....

 

[tot_Ou_tard]

Add me to the Gold list.

 

[red]

Definitely gold. The pickups are already black so putting a black pickguard on as well is overkill IMHO. But then, you should go with whatever YOU prefer. After all, it's YOUR guitar.

 

[just strum]

for now it is staying gold.

Someone had suggested black and sent me the photo shop pic with black, but looking at it some more I like the gold.

I think it was the idea of an inexpensive mod to take away the growing gas for another guitar - it wouldn't have worked.
