i should give you another infraction for that, but you can be wrong if you want to
the more i look at it, i think black bridge, black pups, and no guard will POP on stage

Dang it! The wife actually said the same thing...have you guys been talking to her?
Alright, I'm gonna start a poll...
Mincer, if I left it blank (no pickguard), would you still do black bridge?

Just saw this in a video. This is kind of a cool in-between idea.
Actually, yes. I hate that it means buying a new bridge, but it will absolutely look better.

That's an interesting design, I could go for that one.

What if I put chrome covers on the pickups...would that make it look more cohesive or just too blingy? Or is it that the chrome hardware just doesn't look quite right against the green finish?
Chrome everything wouldn't be too blingy. I think all black would be better, though. But this is coming from someone who thought he didn't like green until he saw your guitar.

Here's what a white pearloid pickguard would look like. Different shape (Jaguar bass), but same Goblin Flake finish:
Thoughts?

Good lord.These are very crude, some lines need to be adjusted and relocated to follow the body better, but this is what came to my mind.
Meteora type
Grabber type (needs the lines near the bridge and body edge moved away from those borders. The main thing was just the straight angle and a little bit of guard around the knob and switch)
Taylor SB1X type. (Needs the point behind the knob softened to be rounder.)
LP Junior Double-cut type

My vote is for the first one in the thread and in this one the LP Jr double cut only.

I gave in and ordered a black bridge and tuners for it. I'll take updated pics with the black hardware, which should be here this week.
Still torn on whether to go pickguard or not. Maybe with the black hardware in place, the choice will be more apparent.
You guys have been awesome with this, so thank you! More pics in a couple days
