Do I go chrome, or white?

[Tricalibur]

nix thu black pg. I think it would look awesome with chrome p/u's tho. Vintage and different.

Yeah, I was thinking they should go chrome also - keep the uniform idea going...but I couldn't make them look chrome with my photoshop :P

I think you know deep down that chrome is gonna look really poor.

Lolol...unfortunately A+

I reckon black pickguard with white knobs and covers would be cool...something like Gilmours' strat.

Geg0ey's idea looks cool though...Go for it! 8)

:D There`s deffinatley an age gap issue here IMHO

To be honest chrome would look utter cr@p even with a black Pickguard. BUT if your gonna think about changing the Pickguard then why not look at something like these

Then you could get some BK`s with chrome finish`s

The black guard looks really nasty in my opinion.  I think the chrome pickups would only look good on a white pickguard.

Already PM'd Jon over at Feline about getting a Mirror Acrylic Pickguard - whaddya think to that? It'll cost me like £35 so I'm a bit reluctant as to how it will look...

I used to have a mirror acrylic on a daphne blue strat in the 80's, but I had black covers on the single coils and a humbucker with double black coils in the bridge.  If I was going to do it again now, I might do all white coils with it.

Hmmm, Mirror Acrylic with white p/ups and knobs etc might look cool...but for some reason I'm still tempted by the chrome - It'll take some more thought methinks

Phil: How did the mirror guard look after you'd played it for a while - did it look horrible when it got scratched?

[PhilKing]

I am pretty light on scratching, I use medium picks and tend to keep my hand on the bridge quite a bit (comes from playing LP's for years!).  I remember it was a buggar to stop fingerprints though.  I'm not sure what happened to it to tell you the truth, I changed to all black with the guitar, I had it resprayed (the blue had been hand painted), and put an EMG H/S/S set on it.  I still have that and it looks mean!

I think I'm gonna get the chrome...and if I don't like it then I can go back to white :) otherwise I'll always be wondering what it would look like if i got the chrome
