    Help me choose a color scheme.

    Hello all.

    I recently purchased a MIJ Fender Floyd Rose Strat, that, to be perfectly honest, is pretty beat. It does have a mice neck, good frets, and sounds pretty freaking great unplugged.

    I have a bunch of other strats (HSS, SSS, and quasi-TSS), and decided to use this one to fill a niche sound. I'll be installing a Lace Blue/Silver/Red set into this guitar. Before I order, I need to decide what color pickguard to go with.

    At this time, I'm leaning towards a Warmoth vintage pearloid 'guard with cream pickups and knobs.

    What would you guys do?

    BTW, it's getting a matching, chrome output jack plate.

    I think it looks great with black, and cream pickups & knobs would work nicely against black too.
    But I bet pearloid could look good. How about grey pearloid with cream plastics?

      Grey pearloid might work. I really don't like black 'guards, though.

        Replace the trem with a black one, replace pickguard with one in any solid color and with holes for HS and a toggle switch, voila...you get yourself a DIY Charvel So Cal.

            Black pickguard, white pickups, silver hardware.

                    That's exactly what I came to say
                    You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
                    Whilst you can only wonder why
