The Elite Black Pearl Guard

/
 
 

Sounds like a highly skilled, special forces group, masterfully trained in the ultimate art of  defense; safeguarding the royal family…of guitars.

Or…

A super cool alternative pickguard choice for the Guardian Angel Player—or any of our pickguard-styled guitar models, for that matter.

Rarely seen in Guitar Tales, a Black Pearl Pickguard has been assigned the duty of guarding the gorgeous Transparent Red - Dark Grain finish of, her majesty, this Guardian Angel Player.

The befitting benefit of choosing a Black Pearl guard for protection is the cool alternative look it imparts to the overall, creating a new and unique altered classic vibe that will definitely not go unnoticed. Just imagine stepping onto the stage strapped into this one.

Makes quite an impression. So COOL!

Overall, a Guardian Angel Player is easily recognized by its…

• 24 fret anatomy

• Gorgeously transformed and sleek S-style body

• Definitive Pickguard Styling

• Your choice of an all tone wood body, including:

‣ Swamp Ash

‣ Alder

‣ Basswood

‣ Mahogany

‣ Okoume

‣ Limba

‣ Roasted Pine

And when it comes to playing, this “Player” is a lightning fast and effortless performer. Nothing to do but plug in and rip. We have taken care of all of the details.

But as you consider a dramatic Black Pearl Pickguard for your next axe, keep this one thing in mind:

Fashion Alert: Pickguard Fashion Alert, this is not a drill. All hands to Fashion Awareness Battle Stations. Black Pearl is such a highly contrasted look that we only recommend it for mono color finishes. When this high contrast pickguard is applied to an alternate high contrast figured maple top, a formidable fashion fight usually ensues. So with a Black Pearl Pickguard appointment, we recommend a high degree of fashion awareness and a low contrast guitar finish to be used when speccing.

Editor’s Note: If you have come to Guitar Tales today to see more of our Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Guitars—only 40 special Insturments in total—they will appear here soon. As more of the Elite 40 become available we will share them with you here in the weeks that follow—one and then another and then another—like discovering hidden treasures.

Thank you so much for sharing this fun time with us.
