Color Ideas?

['59]

I've got a lake placid blue strat with nickel hardware and a rosewood fretboard.

Any ideas for color for the pickguard and pickups other than the standard white? Possibly involving a cool design?

Black/white/black pickguard, white pickup covers knobs and switch tip.

Mint green looks really nice with lake placid blue

 

[Seashore]

Parchment?

I like cream with blue and chrome

is it a pickguard?

That opens up some more alternatives

Cool design? Like a photo pickguard? Or like a tortoise pickguard?

Fender has a Custom Shop designer where you can try out options to see what they look like.

WD Music has photo/art pickguards.

Movies from the 10’s would always fk us in the face with teal and orange because they’re opposites on the colour spectrum wheel. Terminator 2 used it properly. Maybe using the opposite colour to the guitar might look cool for the contrast. I blacked out my white King V for that reason.

DecoBoom makes some really nice engraved-layer pickguards for Strats & Teles.
Expensive but very cool, and IMO nicer than graphic print ones.

Maybe brushed chrome?

lake placid blue
if it had a maple neck
then pastel pink pickups would look nice
but a dark pink wouldnt
and with a rosewood board it wouldnt

White or black pearloid pickguard with black pickups(/covers) if you want to keep it relatively simple and easy to get hold of components.

Keep it stock. Beautiful as is.

I would say, if anything, parchment

Parchment and placid blue would match my car... I think I'll go with that
