What color guard, knobs, and pups for my 91 Strat Plus?

[K-Bizzle]

Gonna be picking up a Rio Grande loaded pick guard soon, and I can't think of anything more creative than black/black/black.
I love all the hardware so I won't be replacing any of that.

What would you get if it were you guitar?
I'm not into flashy stuff just an FYI.

Some pics of it.

Either mint with aged knobs and pup covers or pearloid....black or white pearloid.

go black and gold theme like the LP

I'd never really looked a black pearloid before, that might be cool.

Like this right?

I forgot to mention it's gonna be H-S-S.

Sounds pretty cool actually.

nah just whatever they have on their site. really nice guards that do the shielding themselves!

on the home page there is a very small black powder coated one at the top of the page, the rest are other colors but you get the idea. they'll powder coat in hundreds of colors.

peruse the site :

Awesome thanks.

Any idea on the difference between 5 bar diamond and regular is?

That's a hot finish

Thanks I like it a lot!

I'd go with Black/Black...I think that'd be tight looking.

I wonder how the brushed aluminum diamond would look since the rest of the guitars hardware is brushed.

Imagine this guitar black?

 

[K-Bizzle]

I know its hard to tell, but my guitar is actually a really dark brownish natural color actually.

Rio Grande pickups are great! I've got a set in my Carvin T60. I would go with one of Rio Grande's pickguard assemblies. White pearloid with matching pickup covers and knobs.

You could mess with online guitar designer (it might take a while though)

I agree.
Fucking love Rios.

Gonna do a BBQ-Dirty Hairy-Dirty Hairy.

Which did you use in your Carvin?

I've currently got the BBQ in the bridge of my Eclipse and a Duncan 59 in the neck.
I love the 59 but I like the BBQ more than any other pup I've played, so I've been considering a Buffalo for the neck of that guitar.

Awesome thanks.
Messed around with it for a bit and I'm pretty sure I definitely want a black/black set up now.
