+1 for Parchment. Or really, sanded and coffee-stained white.

Tort, but it can't be too dark or too red. Finding the right balance is key IMO

+1 for gold. I love that mid 50s custom colour look.kalipigeon wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 7:35 pmAnother good color on faded Fiesta Red is anodized gold. The Fiesta Red P-bass and Telecaster models sometimes sport gold and it is a killer look.

A nice, dark tort always looks good on fiesta red.

Re: Which guard for Fiesta offset
I am planning a fiesta red tele build with a parchment guard so thats my vote, but the tortoiseshell Surfysonic posted looked really nice. Normally dislike them but it might make me change my mind

Re: Which guard for Fiesta offset
I am forever haunted by the '63 Fiesta JM I saw in a shop with a meatball Tort guard. The guitar must have sat in the Arizona sun for a decade, it was faded to a wonderful reddish pink. The neck didn't fare so well, bits of the fingerboard kept flaking off and poking me when I tried to play it .
