I have a CAR Squier Cyclone reissue that I gutted when I was a stupid teenager and I didn't know what I was doing, and now I'm stuck with a husk of a guitar. I plan to rebuild it with a new pickguard and new electronics, but first things first, what color pickguard should I go with? I was thinking white pearloid with black pickups, but it feels too much like a standard mustang configuration, so I was also thinking tortoiseshell with cream colored pickups but I haven't seen a good convincing image of CAR and tortoiseshell with cream pickups. So, I want you guys to help me decide. If anyone has a pic of CAR with tort and cream pickups, that would be excellent.

Do red tortoiseshell with white pickups.

How about gold?


(i know its fiesta red but im sure CAR would look good too)

Otherwise I think Tort would be a good choice.

The Sloan option. Is this going to be a decoupage treatment like HNB? Or are you going to custom-make a Hello Kitty style faceplate?

Nah I'm gonna order the pickguard off of pickguardian probably, I don't have the tools or skills to make my own. Otherwise I'd be using an old scratched up record.

However I would LOVE a decoupage guitar someday

Mint always looks good on red, I think.

Brown tort would probably look better than red tort on a CAR guitar.

I'd stick with the Pearl personally, but if you don't like it it'll be hard to find a good pick guard color combo that goes well with CAR.

Mint, red tort, brown tort all would look great, but I voted for Pearl.
