Thundergod Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'm thinking about some (aesthetic) mods to my red metallic robot. I like how she looks but I need a pickguard and I also want to change the neck pickup to something a little less hot. So why not change it to something that looks different (or not) Here's the poll and some pictures... couldn't get a "clear pickguard" preset on FM's site so you guys just do as if the "no pickguard" pictures are the clear pickguard pictures. As it came from the factory: White pickguard: White pickguard p94 on the neck All white: P94 neck, no cover (black bobins) White pickups, clear/no pickguard Black pickups, clear/no pickguard Black pickups, white PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 I like how all of them look, and find it hard to decide... The black pickup thing looks a little too Slash for me tho. The all white looks like a less classic guitar (more like a super-something) IMO. The chrome with white thing is a little more generic tho. Aw nuts!

damian Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 IMHO; 1st// P-94 Chrome W/O pickguard.......2nd// Black HB & Black P-94 W white pickguard......3rd// Both White HBs WITHOUT pickguard.. IMHO, white HBs with the white pickguard looks too feminine ( for a male guitarest )....The P-90 is an interesting beast T.G...... Although 1st choice with a white P/G IMO would look nice as well............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I think a clear pg would look to cheesy and won't look nice when it gets a little wear on it. It will show the scratches. Having said that, no gaurd looks good on it, but I like the white if it needs one, as it matches the binding and the pup rings. Also, while I think the white coils look the best, it may limit your options as to what pups you can use. But, I like the chrome a close second, and you could always put covers on should you go with white and make a change in the future. Both chrome and white go with the white gaurd, or no gaurd.

DiamondJig Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 The only cosmetic change I would like to make to my MG robot would be to add white binding around the body, I thought of using white pin stripping. The 490T is a pretty low output PU, less than the P94 according to the Gibson output chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
