After 6 years I'm ready for a new Pickguard color on the franken-sonic...
Red tort has served me well, but everyone and their mama has red tort now. I'm thinking... Green Pearl...
opinions?

I say no. A lot. Bad colour combination, and a bad colour full stop. For fear of coming over all offset, I always think gold guards look great on black guitars.

Based solely on how completely polarizing it appears to be... I think I'm going to do it.
It's not like i can't pop the red tort back on if it needs to looks all respectable like.

The jag control plate already has that effect on people... But I like to go that extra mile.

Anything goes with black. That's a little primary for my taste, but worth a shot.

Dude... Fuck all them.
Seriously do this.
When I first opened this thread, the green guard loaded first. I immediately understood the implication and thought to myself:
Seriously do this.

It'll look great. I'm being completely serious, in case anyone thinks this is sarcasm.

Are you
a) bored
b) procrastinating
or c) doing a bad, bad job of curing the ongoing insomnia of which you suffer?

a) and c)
if i'm procrastinating i usually end up doing something so far removed from the task at hand that i end up amazing myself. photshopping a guitar would be pretty tame.
plus it's not insomnia, it's more me being an idiot.
