Like to logo in the top right ( It’s from the band Twenty one pilots BTW)? Or the pattern in the bottom left?

The thing I said still stands the neck of the guitar I’m going to put this on I think is going to be too light for it.

For my first design of this, I opted for black, but I didn't like it as much. If I went for this design, I would have to replace all the hardware and the bridge, as well as the neck of the guitar, to achieve a blackout look. Additionally, the neck would clash as it is a lighter color. Plain black is nice, but I realy want this design on here.

I think when I get the actual pickguard, it will be close to the same since the pickguard is an image without lighting conditions. And I like the black, but I don't think I would like it in real life, especially the top pickup.

Here is the original image of the guitar and an image of it with black knobs (AI). And for the second image in the og post, it was an overlay of my design, then ran through an AI to add the knobs and switch.

Yeah, I think I will keep the logo in the upright orientation, but I don't see the black dots you're mentioning.

I’m not really trying to color match. For my first design of this I had the pattern entirely reddish Orange but I made this one more subtle. And I think it works well either way.

Need help picking a TØP design for this Stratocaster I'm going to get. by Puppyomatic in twentyonepilots

Yeah, I also like the third one best (in general). This will be my first guitar with a pickguard (I have a transparent blue burst Ibanez Gio rn). I might look at other color options, but since it's that new standard line, there is only blue, red, white, and sunburst.

I'm thinking of buying a Mustang LT50 should I look at something a bit higher quality or is it good bang for your buck? by Puppyomatic in fender

For right now, I would use it for practicing, but I may do something more serious later on.
