Bought a mint Aztec gold FSR American Deluxe strat. Love the way it feels and sounds but just can't warm up to the color. I'm going to swap the pickguard for a black one and hope that tones down all that gold a bit. There is not a scratch anywhere on it so I kinda hate to paint it. What are some of your opinions?

I agree, put a black pickguard on that thing and it'll look pretty sexy.

If a recent local purchase, maybe they'll swap it for you. I like
that color/finish, but don't own any currently.

Got to agree with TBAZZ...leave it for a while and see if you get used to it.

FWIW

Since you can't really see the look when you're playing--I wouldn't worry about it.

My Precision Bass is Shoreline Gold with a black pickguard. I love it. I think gold is cool.
