My Peavey T-40 is going to need a new pickguard, do you guys think I should use a piece of sheet metal? I think it could look really cool.

You should use a carbon fiber pickguard with a Type R sticker, that will make you play faster.

Make a furry pickguard. Leopard print meshes with most any color.

In all seriousness, I saw a green mirror pickguard that looked awesome in a "so-ugly-it's-cool" type of way.

I saw a git in a magazine that had what appeared to be tatered bible verses glued to it, it actually looked cool.

You would have to have some brass ones to play a instrument like that in the South.
