larryp58 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I'm thinking of changing the pickguard on my Southern Jumbo TV. Same shape ('50's style) from tortoise to firestripe. I think it would accent the "aged" finish and be kind of unique. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Don't know about accenting anything but if you like the look of the firestripe then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Here's a thing I do sometimes when I can't decide. - Snag a picture somewhere. Size it, print it out, cut it out with scissors and fix it to the original pickard. You'll get see it on the guitar without actually making any changings. BTW, I like the idea - "aged" finish with the firestripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KL Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Personally I don't like the firestripe pickguards, but if you do then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hey Larry, sounds good to me, be sure to post pics. By the way, out here in California, a pickguard removal and replacement can cost as much as $100 and as little as $10 when done by a guitar repair or workshop, so shop around. They have to be careful removing, AND when they place it, they only get one chance.....lol.....hopefully they will do a good job, or if you do it, it works out well for you.....let's see those before and after pics...

Rambler Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 You mean like a bat-wing late 50s guard in F/S? If were mine, Id go for a teardrop and lacquer over the crown inlay. But it aint. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
