    Default Which pickguard color?

    I got tired of my black san dimas tele, so I'm taking the neck off it and making a Socal mutt. So far, I have a Candy Blue pro mod SoCal body, 2 pink/ blue Dimarzio humbuckers, and gold hardware. I'm looking at Warmoth pickguards. Which color would you get?

    I'd get a black pickguard.

    I'm still voting black, as I think it will look sharp with the blue/pink pups. I had a Deluxe Vintage Player's Strat with blue ash body, and a black pickguard looked better on it than the original red tortoise they threw on there.

    Get a clear one so you can show off some fancy wiring skills and attention to detail, lol.

    I had thought of getting a clear PG. Then I'd need to find some LED's and make it glow.

    Suprised no one suggested argyle. Pink and blue. It would have a Rick Nielsen look.

    I think I'm going to try a normal PG first, to see if I like the pups and the setup. If all goes well, I'm just going to send the guitar to Dan Lawrence or Mike learn and have my whole guitar painted in argyle.
