Yet another pickguard poll! Photoshop edition.

[philthygeezer]

Which of these ones do you like?

The second would use a standard black/white/black pickguard to be able to fit a standard P guard later if wanted, but I would smoothly curve it in front of the pickups in the most aesthetically pleasing shape possible.

Photoshop possibilities based on EagleMoon's work. Thanks!

I would have voted chrome bridge full pickguard. The modded guard is, well, umm....

 

[Darkstrike]

Chrome bezel setup, with the chrome bridge.

I don't like the modded PG as much as the full PG, but don't let my opinion influence you - it's your bass! My preference would be to start with a solid body and rout the control cavity in the back so you would have no pickguard whatsoever - and all black hardware. But I realize you already have the body and it already has a front cavity...

definitely chrome bezel, bridge could go either way. i chose black to accentuate chrome strings and to match the pickups, normally i prefer chrome bridges, but not on this instrument.

I think that body would look great with the full black pickguard, black hardware, and a maple neck and fingerboard.

I like the sculpted PG. It would make your custom look more, well, custom while still showing off a good bit of the wood and sweet finish.

Don't be afraid to do something different . . . if that's what you like.

I personally like the black bridge, chrome control plate and bezel one..

You could always powdercoat the control plate and bezel to make them black.

Try making it in photoshop and post it up!

I voted blk/full, but would prefer white full 'guard with chrome hardware.

Done. Thoughts?

Done. Thoughts?

Oh that be it!

 

[JustJeffJr.]

The control plate looks way hotter on custom finishes like that. I'd have said PG if it were a solid finish.

Done. Thoughts?

Yeah, I like that better than the Chrome/Chrome/Chrome.

 

[waynobass]

I voted all-chrome, because it would be a shame to cover that nice finish with a full pickguard.

I'm leaning to the full Black/White/Black guard. We'll see what happens when the body gets here. I'll try the pickups in the route to see how snug it is.
