I thought it would be fun to look at some neck and pickguard color options on this Olympic White that I finished rubbing out this morning. I got to thinking about ozan's post regarding Olympic White lacquer and I though it would be good to show how much the color of the neck wood and the guard effect the over all look of the guitar. This is a one piece swamp body that has been finished in Oly White over a sunburst so as it begins to relic it will look like on old Fender with the overspray on a blown burst. Also notice that it has a lefty trem which is a cool option from Warmoth. The first 3 have a brazillian board with; # 1 mint guard which is the classic Fender Oly White vintage look, # 2 is an aged white 3 ply
which I prefer with the maple neck but looks ok with this neck, # 3 is the tortis which looks great with the maple but I do not like with the brazillian. The next 3 have an off the charts birdseye maple neck that will be going on the guitar. #4 is the mint and I think it looks totally wrong with maple, 5 is the aged white which I like with the maple and # 6 is the one my customer chose and will be on the finished guitar. I have that combo on my Oly White and like it. My favorite out of this bunch is #1, a classic combination.
Which do you all like the best?
