    I'd leave it the way it is, and save your money to make a real functional improvement to the guitar.

    Get a Tone Pro's locking bridge for it...intant increase to sustain and improved intonation.

    The only one of those pickguards I'd ever stick on a red guitar like that is the white pearl one. I'm sorry, but the others would just look plain ugly...

    I'd stick to the black. It looks cool as hell right now.

    I agree, and the white pearl is most likely the one I'd get if I decided to change.

    Yes, although is sounds 'good' as is. I will most definitely be making future upgrades.

    The Tone Por's bridge is a no brainer. Once you swap out your epi bridge, you will wonder why every guitar company isn't using the Tone Pro's. It's a real functional improvement to a design that hasn't changed in nearly 50 years...amazing that it took so long to come up with it.

    The real good news is that it will retrofit without modification to your instrument. Worth every penny :)
