darren Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 This is mine. Not exactly LPB and the tort is a bit rubbish but blue and tort works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMX Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 To me, the tort pickguard looks amazing with the rosewood fingerboard, but not so much with the maple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBass Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Think the tort needs to be subtle if the colour is subtle and slightly faded, but for a newer brighter finish the tort needs to "pop" I'd even say be more red/orange than brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy64 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Here's mine with a BassDoc tort guard Not entirely sure it's Lake Placid though...I have always thought it looked a bit darker than LP. It's a 2000 American Standard. Great colour and guard combo though, I love it. Edited July 30, 2014 by Jonesy64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinnyman Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 [quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1406633198' post='2513180'] Fender Japan have a colour called Old Lake Placid Blue, which I just love. I have serious, serious GAS for one of these (but with a pearl plate on it): [url="http://[URL=http://s1138.photobucket.com/user/Simon_Ritson/media/JB75-OLB.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n535/Simon_Ritson/JB75-OLB.jpg[/IMG][/URL]"]http://[URL=http://s1138.photobucket.com/user/Simon_Ritson/media/JB75-OLB.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n535/Simon_Ritson/JB75-OLB.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/url] [/quote] Aaaaaaargh. Why did you show me this? It's gorgeous. I want one. Can't have one but can't un-see it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon. Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sorry! Now you know how I feel. It appears that they are like hens teeth to get hold of over here, and there's precious few of them in Japan either. If I had the resources to go and get one, I think I would have Limelight, or someone similar, put one together instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 [quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1406628574' post='2513102'] If I had a Lake Placid Blue personally I would either go for a black or white pearl guard. [/quote] Agree... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
