Whaoh, I think that with that pickguard the stripes become a problem. I reckon it'd look amazing without them

Luckily they are stickers. I kinda like them still though... maybe even in a different color. Dunno what though...

And you are probably one of very few people aside from me who like my goofy Jag plate. I actually hit it today for the first time ever while strumming since I put it on, for some reason it's really not in my "normal" strum path I guess but everyone assumes it would get in the way.

I like odd things. I love the Jag-stang's shape, for instance.

As for stripes, I've always wanted a glossy black body, with matte black stripes. Dunno how doable it'd be, but I reckon it'd look awesome.

I think I like it with the stripes a little, tiny bit better.
Without is okay too, obviously but I think the stripes add a bit of chraracter.

In that second pic there looks to be a bit of red in the stripes. It'd be class if you had just an edging of red in the stripes, and were able to get a guard that was triple plied, with black, red, then green on top.

I think I'm sticking with the white stripes, they're just stickers so easily changed.

Something about the red is enticing to me... I wonder if I'm color blind and thats why I like this shit. lol.
