I'd like your opinion

Post by epitreture »

I recently ordered a black pickguard for my 650D to match the nameplate and I've taken a couple of pictures of the guitar both ways and I'd like your opinion as to which you think looks better. I have to admit that I like them both and I can't make up my mind.

Which would you vote for ?
Thanks !

Brain, I'm sorry but I can't give you an opinion based upon the pictures. However, if you sent the 650D LH over to my house, I'll be more than glad to inspect it and then give you an opinion. :lol:

I think I prefer the black, but it's a little hard to tell from your photo. I went with gold:

That's extremely thoughtful of you Richard. While you're inspecting my 650D, I'll give a close examination to your Carl Wilson ! :D

That black looks great. I like the way it matches the TRC. I think you should stick with black, and RIC should change it to black !

I agree, sorry. Maybe 'cause of the reflection on the black, it looks chrome in all the photos.

You're right, it does. Sorry about that. Here's a couple more of the black guard:

Keep the black. It has the best qualities of the chrome one, but it matches the guitar better !

yeah ive change my mind the black does suit the guitar better. But i still think you can alternate when your heart desires and remember not everyone can be right some can be left!
