Which look for my strat?

Post by Basket Case »

I've bought a Fender (rosewood) neck, so now I need a body colour and pickguard. I've narrowed it down to these choices...

Option 1

Option 2
Image

Option 3
Image

Option 4
Image

Or a more expensive Option 5
Image

Or do you have another combo that you think looks the shiz?

#2 with the pickgaurd from #4

Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

5 wth a white pickguard... dood you chose pickguards that have ugliness of inbred southern state kin on them.

Option 1. Don't like the pickguards on 2/3/4 and the overall effect of those matched with the body colours makes them look very 80s in a bad way (whereas 1 is 80s in a good way). 5 looks like those incredibly expensive, hand-made, way better than the best Fender customshop style strats that seem to have to look expensive to justify the fact that they are $15k with a 3 year waiting list, but in fact end up just looking like they are trying too hard...

Strats should be simple...

I'm abstaining due to lack of Dave Gilmour style black pickguard on black body

Definitely #1, but it would probably suit a maple neck/board better IMO. The rosewood neck will look slick though on the white body.

3 with a white pickguard. MOTO guards are so mid-90s.
