I would go with the lighter one on the natural top. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind the actual color of the guard, when put on the guitar, depends on how translucent the material is, and the color as you see it now depends on the color of the backing paper. If these are not the translucent type guards, just forget what I said... 😳 Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I made a test fit up with some black plastic before I cut the tiger stripe. Neither is attached.

The yellowish one is not transparent so what you see is what you get. This darker stripe is transparent so it may lighten up. I may cut a little square of it and apply it to see how much it changes.

The stripe is delicate, which pulls together the binding, fretboard, bridge and top and which (again, imo) is both eye-catching and suitably subtle for the L-00 size. If you’re askin’...

I agree with Anne. It will be interesting to see what it looks like with the backing paper off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) I went ahead and put the darker tiger stripe on. It did tone down the red Edited December 31, 2020 by Dave F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
