Do you love the way your guitar sounds and plays, but wish it looked a bit cooler? Well, if you want your instrument to stand out from the crowd, you’ve come to the right place. I’m going to take you on a journey to find some fantastic-looking high-quality guitar hardware that is guaranteed to take your ax to the next level.
So, let’s get straight to it with some…
Super Cool Pickguards
If you’re a strat or tele player, the easiest way to drastically alter the look of your guitar is by changing the pickguard. But we’re not talking about removing a white pickguard and replacing it with a black one (even though that worked out well for David Gilmour). No, no, no, we are going for a completely new look, such as with this Guyker Brass Cog Design Stratocaster Pickguard.
It’s been specifically designed to perfectly fit modern Strats (11-hole pickguard) with an S/S/S pickup configuration. And not only will it make the guitar look fantastic but the premium brass construction will also enhance its tonal performance by improving resonance and sustain, while also reducing unwanted noise and feedback. Your notes will ring like a bell with crystal clear definition, making sure everyone is not only admiring the look of your Stratocaster but also your playing!
And don’t worry if your strat has an H/S/S configuration, this H/S/S pickup perfectly fits the bill.
Or, if you love watery, swirly patterns, go for either the Guyker PG002 Fender 8-hole Modern Telecaster Resin Pickguard
Or the Guyker PG003 11-hole S/S/S Modern Resin Pickguard for Stratocaster®. Both these pickguards perfectly fit modern teles and strats and the high-quality resin construction ensures durability and protection from scratches and everyday wear. The resin also helps to balance your tone, as well as reducing feedback. They are available in a range of funky colors such as Red/Black, Purple/Black, Green/Black/Pink.
Sticking with Teles, let’s take a look at some…
Super Cool Telecaster Hardware Sets
Buying a complete hardware set is the easiest way to ensure that everything on your guitar matches perfectly. And the Guyker Titanium Alloy Damascus Pattern Control Plate, Neck Plate, and Knob Set is an excellent option.
Its fantastic Damascus design featuring different shades of blue, purple, and white is a real eye-catcher, and its titanium alloy construction and quality finish means it will look great on your tele for years to come.
Or, if you prefer gears, wheels, and cogs, you could go for the Guyker Titanium Alloy Mechanical Pattern Control Plate Set which is built to the same high standard as the set I just covered but features a different design. Both sets are available for guitars that have either a square or an arc-shaped neck plate so they should fit on any telecaster.
However, if you’re happy with the neck plate that is currently on your tele, and want to save yourself a bit of money, go for the GUYKER Titanium Alloy Damascus Pattern Control Plate and Knob Set. It’s exactly the same as the first set we looked at but doesn’t include the neck plate.
Or, if you prefer a splattered paint lined design, go for the Guyker NS005-TI-Fashion stripe Titanium Alloy Control Plate and Knob Set, again with no neck plate included. This incredibly cool set of knobs with a control plate features different shades of gorgeous blue, purple, red, and gold splatters and lines making it a truly unique design that will really make your telecaster one of a kind.
That’s enough Fender replacement parts, for now, let’s move on to…
Super Cool Les Paul Toggle Switch Back Plates
There is no point in just making your guitar look cool from the front, it also has to look amazing from behind, and changing your toggle switch back plate is a great way for Gibson Les Paul owners to do this.
Let’s start with the Guyker Toggle Switch Back Plate Hudie Metal Cover Butterfly Skeleton Pattern. What could be cooler than an evil-looking butterfly with a skeleton on its chest? Not much!!! And that’s exactly what you’ll get if you put this plate behind your toggle switch. The butterfly and skull are a bronzy gold color which contrasts nicely with the silver and black background pattern and will make sure that the back of your Les Paul gets lots of admiring glances.
Next, for all you gamblers out there, we have this Guyker Roulette Pattern Metal Toggle Switch Plate. The design features six bronze domes surrounding a central silver circle, all on a silver background, very cool indeed! Plus, the metal construction ensures a lifetime of trouble-free use.
And going back to our gears and cogs theme, here is the Guyker Gear Pattern Metal Toggle Switch Plate.
And finally, to match your new hardware you will probably need some of the
