i'm unable to find pics of sunburst jags with mint guards... is this a faux-pas?
as mike said, my CIJ i just bought has too red of tort guard. should i just replace it, or does anyone have any pics of 3t burst with mint?
hALP!

i scoured the pics thread, has seriously no-one put mint on a sunburst jag?
i'd shop it but my eyes are closing by themselves and i need to get to bed.

Dude I had a mint guard on my sunburst Jag for ages and loved it. I'll try and dig up a photo for you if you still want one. It looks creamy in most lights but still works anyway.

mint guard, looks pretty good but the white pickups kinda clash.
I disagree, I think it looks really good.

I always liked sunburst strats with mint guards and yellowed pickups.
Maybe that's just me.

hahaha the fact they can even call that tort is retarded.

I've got a mint guard for my sunburst Jag that I keep meaning to put on - it's got no pup holes in it (I ordered it this way as my Jag has got P90s), so I need to go to work with the dremmel.

This thread made me finally get my ass in gear and sort out my mint Jag guard.
I freehanded the pup holes with a dremel, so they're not totally snug...but they will do.
Took quite a bit of adjustment around the neck pocket/control plates to get it to fit, but all done now.
Result isn't bad. Don't think I like it as much as the tort, but it's certainly not offensive.
