discreet Posted July 20, 2018 Author Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) No Pickguard: What do you think? Edited July 20, 2018 by discreet 1 1 Quote
Cat Burrito Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 It works great both ways. Personally I like the guard but it is nice to mix it up. Quote
Bridgehouse Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Pertinent for me. My first 51 build had one: But my current build does not... So I say mood, and colour dependent.... 1 Quote

My 74 P is black guard on cream - It was olympic white but it's custard now 😅 f-hole and guard would be too busy.. Quote
KiOgon Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 No guard for me - no holes = no guard - don't go drilling it now, you might regret it forever 😎 Quote

Bridgehouse Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 You could always decoupage a Paisleyguard to put on it... Quote

Especially given Kodiakblair's recent trials and tribulations with Paisley... I might consider a 50s -style pin-up though, that would be in keeping with the vibe.

Cato Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) For me the pickguard is part of the classic '51 look. I think the white just about edges it over the black, but both look fantastic in those pictures. Edited July 20, 2018 by Cato 1 Quote
KiOgon Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 So - it ain't got holes now has it!? 5 minutes ago, discreet said: It already had pickguard holes - I filled them with Milliput before the refinish. Quote

Or I could just paint the guard on, changing the colour if I get bored... Quote
