Guys,
I have a 2012 Strat Deluxe Aztec Gold, and as you know the pickguard is anodized aluminum. Thought it was cool for about 2 days, and now, Ive got to change it. I ordered a white 3 ply pickguard, and it came in and is truly WHITE! The problem? The pickups and knobs are parchment color!!!

My need: I want to put an aged parchment pickguard on it to match the pups and skirts, but I can only find a parchment pick guard with the middle ply being black. I dont want any black on it, just parchment. Ive tried to find some online, but must be looking in wrong places. Help a brotha out and send me some links if you have any. Cheers! :P

This Aztec Gold American Deluxe Strat looks much better with a gold beveled vinyl pickguard and matching dome metal knobs!

Here is before stock photo...
The anodized gold pickguard is actually more gold than the stock photo. Hence, it's just too much gold for me for now. May revert back later. Posting new tasty pic guard pics in about 20 mins.

Best way to see color live is check this youtube video out. Yes, the guitar does sound as good as the video. I loved the look of the guard, it was just being aluminum and the feel for me was way to cold. I love the pearloid I put on er. Staring at her now. Goldie is hot! Heres link.
