WD Brushed Gold Pickguard
Hey there,
I know WD doesn't make anodized Gold guards, but has anyone tried their brushed gold guard? Does it look good? Do you have pictures of yours?
Thanks!

Re: WD Brushed Gold Pickguard
I bought one for a Classic Player Jazzmaster. Looked nice enough and seemed durable, but I took it off before it ever got a real test. The sunburst on my Jazzmaster is very dark and quite reddish, and it didn't look to hot with the faux gold. I doubt it would have looked better with the real thing.Jazzbastard89 wrote:Hey there,

I reckon if you really want gold and this is your only way to get there, you'll be fine and happy.

A friend of mine ordered one of those for his Telecaster. We both thought it looked pretty craptastic.

I have the WD brush gold on a black JM blacktop. I was hoping it would be a yellow gold, but it's more so a green gold. I'm not overly thrilled with the color, but it does the job. The fit & quality is good.

There are a few WD gold guards. The gold mirror, brushed gold and one other. Which is the best?TeenageShutdown! wrote:I have the WD brush gold on a black JM blacktop.

Do you have any photos of the pickguard on the guitar?TeenageShutdown! wrote:I have the WD brush gold on a black JM blacktop. I was hoping it would be a yellow gold, but it's more so a green gold. I'm not overly thrilled with the color, but it does the job. The fit & quality is good.

Re: WD Brushed Gold Pickguard
I've only tried the brushed gold, so I can't answer which is best. Dunno if the pics will show, I'm not technologically gifted.Jazzbastard89 wrote:There are a few WD gold guards.

Re: WD Brushed Gold Pickguard
you know what, that's not too bad! i was expecting it to look much more plastic-y and just cheaper in general.
Maybe the tint/colour classic gold, but it looks pretty decent IMO.
