This is gonna sound gay...
and I mean that in the most stereotypical way possible, so no offense to any alt. lifestylers out there - but this is the equivilant of a woman asking her girlfriends what dress looks good on her.
Okay, I have a Fender American St. Strat - Ash - Natural finish. When I bought it a few years ago, it came with the white pick guard and the white knobs, P/U covers, etc. So I swapped that out for a black pickguard and the "aged" white (off-white-dingy-yellowish) accessories. I like it - it looks good now. So. I get a sale rag from GC yesterday, and I see they have Fender Pearloid pickguards on sale for $19.95. Normally, this wouldn't raise an eyebrow, but these pearloid pickguards come in 5 different colors. One of those colors is a dark, almost forrest green. Did I mention that Forrest Green is my favorite color? Anyway, I want to go get one - and I just might. How do you think it will look? Will it look stupid? Anybody have a picture of something similar that they can post so I can see if it will look good. I think it will, but I am not sure. Damn, I feel like my 49% gayness has taken the ol' ride past the 50% mark! ![]() |

I know I sound gay for asking.
![]() But do you think a green pearloid pickguard on a natural ash finish sounds gay? For some reason, I just can't see it in my head. |

HEY! I think that looks good! I have a rosewood fretboard, but I think that will accentuate it and make it even better!
Thanks H2H!!! That was one hell of a pull! Either you have a steel trap-like mind, or that guitar made an impression on you, eh? Thanks again! You have given me sight!!! |

To me what sounds gay is how the fucking rape you for replacement pickguards!You're talking about a custom pickguard ON SALE for 19.95.I look on Musicians Friend for a black strat pickguard,its like 35 bucks!For a piece of plastic.What I actually want is a strat style pickguard cut out for two humbuckers.I wasn't able to find that at MF.I can only Imagine what it would cost If I did.
I could buy pickguard material cheap at stewmac,but I dont have the tools to cut it out.They really have you bent over! |

I just had my house painted a dark brown with forest green trim.
I am not gay. However, I would not give a damn if anyone though I was. If you like the color, go for it. I think that it what a real hetero man would do.... El Lamo |

That pic that H2H gave of the nat'l w/green rules.......and the rosewood board would make it even cooler.....
However, if there is a lavender color pearloid, Jerry Falwell might possibly become erect..........and we don't want that to happen, now do we ?................................gibs |

If you do get that pickguard, you've gotta get an axe painted the same as my ESP Custom (avatar on left) to reassert your heterosexuality.
