Lipstick pups +new pickguard on Cyclone

Post by luciguci »

I am about to order from Pickguardian for my candy apple red Cyclone. I don't know if I want to get a pearloid pickguard like the original, a WBW pickguard, or something else entirely?

Here's a shitty mockup I made for the white pickguard with the Mustang builder and paint.

Mint is clearly the winner. You need to obey the SS decision!

Does anyone have a good picture of pickguardian mint on CAR? I cannot seem to find one right now. I want to make sure it's not pistachio ice cream green.

Yes, but I'm looking specifically for pickguardian mint green on candy apple red.

Thanks.

And if the mint they show a picture of on their site is within 10% that shade, more or less , it will,look hot with CAR. I think there was a CV 50's Stat with that combo that i got wood for.

So, something like this? It's actually a lot more subtle than I thought, when placed in the context of the red.
MINT

WHITE

Eh, not a fan of that one. But I did find this picture, with the white, parchment, and mint colors from pickguardian.
