Wood Pickguard on epiphone Explorer tacky?
I have an epiphone korina explorer (black) that i want to try a couple cosmetic enhancements, i already got some new pickups coming in (emgs) as well as a new tune-o-matic bridge. I hear the wood may add a slight warmth to the tone as a plus to the aesthetics.
I want to do a Rosewood Pickguard as the guitar has a rosewood neck and figured it would be a good match.
the hardware is Gold (except the new bridge which is black, but uses the original gold studs)
is this a suitable style to go with, or should i get something aluminum.
i like the idea of having something so different as a wooden pickguard, but figured i would get some second opinions.
the pickguard will most likely look like this http://cgi.ebay.com/US-Gibson-Explorer-Guitar-Rosewood-Wood-Pickguard_W0QQitemZ180537703581QQcategoryZ41424QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6072982081640261982#ht_646wt_898
The finish of the pickguard is so dark that it will appear black, so I don't think it will look tacky at all. When I saw the word 'wood' in your question, I sort of cringed because I was imagining a lighter wood finish through which you could see the grain. But the one in your link seems appropriate and will complement the gold hardware and black bridge nicely.
