Title: Aesthetic Assistance, Please...
Post by: MrBump on April 15, 2012, 12:19:32 PM
Not getting any use out of my Trilogy Suite in m my Charvel, so I'm going to put the 2 Nailbombs back in it, probably with the middle Trilogy in there too.

So, I will be getting a custom pickguard made, and given that I don't have a stylish bone in my body, I'l looking for aesthetic suggestions.

Attached is how it currently looks.  I went for white, because it seemed to... well... obvious.  But I can't really picture anything else. 

In fact, given that the Nailbombs are nickel and the Trilogies are parchment, maybe I should't worry about the colour as it will look naff anyway..?

Any thoughts are welcome.

Get a black guard and a black cover for the single. Will look good.

Hmmm.... red guitar, rosewood neck, natural maple headstock, black hardware..... personally I would stick with white or something similar.

OK, black cover for the Trilogy, get the covers taken off the Nailbombs (assuming they're black underneath), black knobs (Tele style metal ones).... white pearloid scratchplate.

Aged or cream pearl would look nice on red with nickel pickupcovers.

That would actually be really cool! Except he should keep the nickel covers.

I think that I'm going to go back to how it was made in the early 1990's - cream pearloid.

Safest, I guess...
