Re: Just picked up a strat.
Of those choices... I'd go orange & white.
I started ElDegas.com many years ago to help celebrate and inform about El Degas instruments. It all started with a used Ric 4000 bass copy I bought in circa 2000.

Re: Just picked up a strat.
The black trim is a sharper contrast, but I think you may have an irresistible urge to go Tick or Treating!! 
I think you'll be happier living with the White. (Don't forget to change the TRC too.)
But If you'll be painting the headstock how are you handling the El Degas logo?

Re: Just picked up a strat.
Did some work on this guitar. Got the string guides and installed them, that made a huge difference. Got the new saddle and changed it also heuge, quite pleased with my own set-up job, also adjusted action on some other strings to eliminate fret buzz. replaced the foreign tone pot and got a new set of knobs. This thing is good to go for now. There is still a problem with the neck at the twelfth fret but for now I can concentrate on the les paul copy. This is actually a nice little guitar for 75 bucks and a little bit of work.
Re: Just picked up a strat.
I have the exact same one...except mine is (or was) all black... and I managed to buy it for a dozen beer...I've had it for a while and it's kind of a "project guitar" now...but I'm gonna be restoring it to its former glory shortly.

Re: Just picked up a strat.
trying top replace the pickguard on mine...but can't really find anything that even looks close to fitting, both the fender pickguard and squire pickguards i've tried are too big, and I can't really think of what other types to try any suggestions?
Re: Just picked up a strat.
When I had a tech/luthier work on one of my Tele copies he had to end up cutting a new custom pickguard.

I'm actually looking into making a new custom guard now....hopefully it won't break my bank account haha
Re: Just picked up a strat.
Shouldn't cost much, definitely shop around.
You can also try Pickguardian (google them), there is another online guy as well but I cannot remember the name...
