I have been playing with ideas for my tele deluxe project. I am making a padauk neck with a maple fretboard and maple skunk stripe. I can't decide if I want to make it a walnut body with a black pickguard, or a black alder body with a cream pickguard. I already have the wood for the neck and I'm working on it. any ideas?

the padauk neck will be more brown and less orange than the pictures.

I like the black one but am not sure about the cream pickguard. It might just be the photoshop. Also, the walnut looks like it might do a good job of bringing out the padauk headstock, and that'd be cool too.

To be honest I'm not really a fan. I like the classic all Maple neck and stock.

this.

although i think it would look better if the 'stock was darker to match the walnut.

i'd say walnut.
and..... a friend made a board out of padauk and it was orange to start with but like 6 months later it looked like eboney, it reacted really wierd to finger cheeze and sweat, becuz i vivedly remember him oiling it to start, and cleaning it after it turned to poo colors.
weird stuff man.

Padauk eventually turns to a orangy brown color. I plan on clearing over it with gloss nitro.
