Help! What pickguard for this pinecaster?

[PunkKitty]

Help me decide. I don't have a black triple ply available for a picture. And I would buy a black single ply that isn't so scratched up if I go that way. I suppose I could also get a purple pickguard.

Tort. When in doubt, the answer is always tort.

 

[baimun]

Brass.

Brass is the answer.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Leather.

Leather is the answer.

The body looks like it's a 2 piece, and tortiseshell looks the best with it, so I'd say tort it is.

 

[Kerouac]

I like Baimun's brass idea! I bet Luigi could etch you a killer one.

 

[vintage clubber]

black or bakelite...

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Black leather.
On natural or blonde Teles,the answer is always black.

If blonde, butterscotch or otherwise, is the finish, the guitar bylaws clearly state that the pickguard must be black.

If 3-ply, then black/black/black.

I'm surprising myself but I'll go with the tort.

 

[DFB]

The tort looks good,but an etched brass would be awesome.

Tort is only the answer if the guitar is either black or white.

I went single ply black. The single ply black or white is my preferred aesthetic for Tele guards, 'cept a thinline which looks best with the white mother of toilet seat.

Then there's the purple which is an incredible eyesore. I could see going with that just to say FUCK YOU to everyone.

You could also cut one from an old vinyl record.

I'm not really that kind of person.

Oh wait, I really am that kind of person.
