Show me your SILVER aluminum pickguards?

Post by GilmourD » Thu Apr 18, 2024 7:47 pm

I impulsively purchased an anodized silver aluminum Jazzmaster guard but I'm finding myself without a Jazzmaster that I want to install it on... Then I realized I have literally EVERYTHING but the body. Trouble is I don't know what color body I want to go with, so I want to see ALL of the guitars you guys have with silver anodized guards.

Please and thanks!

Here's two I made.

They are pretty much tobacco burst.

I was going for that vintage Teisco vibe.

I love a good IBM + silver guard look, a la Chrissy Hynde Tele.

I recently installed this silver anodized guard on a little partscaster I've put together (Squier JM neck, awesome looking vista series body). Didn't expect it to look this good honestly. I freaking love it. Super light, resonant.

And here's my refinished VM Squier VI with a much pricier Herad guard:

Damn, both of those are smokin'!

Anybody have anything red, black, purple, or orange?

Here's a partscaster I did a couple of years ago. Got bored with black, so now it's rose gold metallic with a mint guard!

Hmmm... Purple is winning.

I'm surprised there's zero votes for Candy Apple Red at the moment. 🤔

So, question...

Am I psychotic that I have both a metallic purple Jazzmaster body and a candy apple red Jazzmaster body on the way to me?

😅
