OK guys, I have alrady consulted with the expert but I am gonna get a few more ideas...

What colour guardplate and pickups should I put on this guitar...it will be here on Tuesday, and I want to order the guardplate asap...

How bout a cream/black/cream p/g with a set of SD Texas Hot Antiquities (aged covers would be awesome)

Black or tortoiseshell actually looks pretty nice on a sunburst.

IMHO mirror pickguard.

and congrats on the acquisition!!!

Aye! Another beautiful left handed strat that's going to get tortured for the Hendrix treatment.

Personally I would go with a, B/W/B, Black pearl, White or Vintage Pearl, all with black pickups.

Because alot of the guitars in you sig. weren't made in the lefty format!

I have been on a huge Aerosmith/Joe Perry kick lately...I have always like the idea of the tremolo being upsidedown, I have the bridge pickup on my JV Strat reverse slanted, and reverse Fender headstocks look cool as hell...plus it was a reason to grab another guitar! It's so Joe Perry circa late 70's...now if I could just get those damn L-220's from Bill Lawrence!

And yes those Dam L-220s would be very helpful!

My order for a set is going next week

My order for a set is going next week True...not all of Joe's strats have Tele necks on them, but it is an idea!

Are they taking orders for the 220's yet?!?

I'm hoping so! I'm getting really impatient!

you have a PM on the way, some new info just popped up!

I'd go with cream for that vintage look. Or just leave it as it is. It looks awsome! Congrats.

leave it as is, it's a classic guitar that deserves to stay stock.

How much did you get it for? That's really badass! a 67 strat...wow. You think you can throw down some sound samples through your twin when you get it?

Thanks guys...it is a MIJ reissue NOT a real 67, actually it is a MIJ limited edition 1968 reissue, it was only offered for 6 months in 1989, I excited! I got it for the opening bid of $399.00 plus shipping!!! I have not gotten the guitar yet, but I am pretty sure that the stock pickups are not so great, so it will more that likely be getting new pickups, and I want it to look a little different so a new guardplate is in order as well...right now Im kind of leaning toward either Tortoise or Black.

If it were mine, I'd install a Twangbanger and 2 Surfers, then I'd use a scouring pad to dul the glossy pickguard, and soak it in my 'nicotine formula'.......coffee, tea, and a spoonful of yellow curry powder in a pot of water. If it gets too yellow, wipe it with a cloth soaked in bleach to achieve the right shade.

Honestly, the guard looks appropriate on that guitar, but if you reliced it, it would look even better. Plus, you'll save $35.

Plus, you'll save $35.If I can't get a set of the Lawrence L-220's to try I was thinking about a pair of SSL-1's and a Twangbanger. I know that, that guardplate looks quot;rightquot; but I was thinking that a dark colour (like black or Tortoise) would look cool too, I am also leaning towards a green...either green crushed pearl or green mirrored

one mor bump...the guitar gets here tomorrow (I hope) and I wanna order the guard soon...leaning towards Tortoise right now

PINK mirror!!!!
