If I decide between a Jag, I'm torn between the looks of the HH Olympic white and SS CAR(sound wise they could both work), but I'd want to swap the pickguard on the SS to something neat.
Does anyone have picks of a CAR with a nice pickguard? I'm thinking pearloid would be nice, or maybe black.
Also perhaps other colour jags with different pickguards, in case I decide to get another model.

Tried the dressing room thing on OSG, had a crap selection of pickguards and the CAR didn't look right at all. Blergh.

Black, absolutely. With black pickup covers as well.

Haha, yup. It deserves to be posted twice.
If this thing were more reasonably priced, I'd be getting the vapours.
The gear buying ones.

If you find a metalic pickup, it might look well... If you can't, stick with black. =)
Oh well, whatever, nevermind...

Black is pretty easy, as I can just spray them. I'll probably have to spray the pickup covers no matter what of course. Unless you can get pearloid ones, haha.

Just realised the pickguard on the CPs aren't white, but Mint Green. Subtle but makes it look much cooler to me, so I might just leave it.

Actually the best pickguard color for CAR is mirror, as seen here:
