Re: Which guard for Fiesta offset
If I remember correctly, green is complementary to red in the color wheel .... I've used mint green (very light, I think it's sold as vintage or aged ... I forget the term) on faded Fiesta and it looks spectacular. The eye sees it as almost white, except at close inspection.
If you are partial to white pickguards, you may want to go mint green on the Fiesta.
Tort is also good. Classy. Looks great on anything.
Good luck!

Mint’s the biz
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Both look great, that is a damn nice guitar. I think mint looks great in a more conventional way. Tort looks meaner.Surfysonic wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 8:19 amI converted to mint...Surfysonic wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:15 amGotta go with tort...

Re: Which guard for Fiesta offset
Thanks! I posted these photos previously, but I've since added the Dave Wronski-style slanted switch. Looks cool and is more comfortable functionally.BeardedRainbow wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2024 2:00 pmBoth look great, that is a damn nice guitar. I think mint looks great in a more conventional way.

Oof, you have some really nice toys! I bet that Band Master sounds pretty decent.Surfysonic wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2024 5:02 amThanks!

That angled switch looks much more comfortable to flip; I might have to try one like that on my Jag since reaching for the switches is a little annoying when on a strap.

Re: Which guard for Fiesta offset
Thanks, that's my '62 Bandmaster in a custom 2x10 combo cab from Will @ Armadillo Amp Works - https://amprestoration.com/amplifier-ca ... s-pricing/. Really nice to play out with for it's compact portabillity. Will does fantastic work. He also made me a custom brown head & 2x12 cab that I use for my '63 Bandmaster. I'm a sucker for brown-era style amps (this one is totally a mish-mash of styles and, like the combo cab, not historically accurate.BeardedRainbow wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2024 10:36 am

At some point, though, I'm going to get a blonde 2x12 cab from Mojotone to pair up with the '63 Bandmaster's original blonde head shell. Then I'll try to figure out what to do with the brown head & cab (either put the '62 in it or hunt down another Bandmaster chassis (or something with the same measurements) for funsies.
Love the angled switch, definitely a keeper.

A slightly yellowed pearloid would be my vote.
