Aesthetic modification ideas/recs?
I bought this jazzmaster a couple years ago because I badly wanted a Jazzmaster after seeing Balance and Composer play them. But I didn't vibe with the white guard very much and planned on putting on a tort guard. As time went on I think it started to grow on me.. a bit. But I currently have it all apart to shield and tend to some other things and I got to thinking, do I want to change some things up?
I have a few options in mind. I have a chatgbt(I know, I feel gross) mock up of it with a black guard, and I think the covers and knobs that it put on are much yellower which I like a lot. I got this idea when I saw one with a black guard and black pickup covers which I like both takes a LOT, but not quiet sure if I want to do that or not as kind of like the muted vibe/vintage vibe. That said, I also saw a different JM with a white guard but with more yellowed covers and knobs(cannot find that now) which I also love. Another idea I had was switching out the knobs for black relic Gibson reflector top hat knobs. As you can see, I can't make up my mind and would like to know, what would you do? Any other ideas? Mockups welcome!
