Best options for black guitars: Gold, Black or Brown Tort.

Off topic, sorry, but what does that swelling bloated eye emoticon signify? My pointer won't tell me. I'm guessing it's an extreme form of boredom, maybe disgusted boredom. Tort on black works for me, even red tort.

If you Quote the post it will show you the title of the emoticon in the message editor, in this case "lolwut". I assume it's an animated equivalent of o_O.

I like black/white/black or mint personally. :) Most anything looks good on black. :)

It arrived today, and came with a black/white/black one (thought it was just black) - I saw a black LP recently with a gold pearl pickguard that I thought looked amazing, so I went ahead and ordered a tort guard, a gold pearl one, and a yellow pearl guard as well to try it out.

Since the strat has a big CBS headstock and a black SD Invader, I didn't think that a mint guard would match :(

Oh, and it's getting a big fat 70's amp knob.

I like plain red black red. No pearl or tort just red.

What colour is that? Minestrone pearl?

I like it, though.

Came here to say black, but it turned out pretty great.

Didn't even know that thing even had his own signature guitar.

I like the combo! Reminds me of Rockin' Halloween.

I'm a 1-ply sort of guy myself and probably would have went with plain white. Yours looks much more fun.
