The US D'Andrea brand presents here a very beautiful pickguard of high quality.
It is difficult to imagine color in photos ; you have to find your way with the usual names (Tortoise, Pearl, Pearloid, Sparkle...).
The rendering of the product with the “Orange Pearl” finish is both:
- "Sober" (imagine a gradient orange color of the well-known 3-tone sunburst type but with the addition of darker pattern inlays).
- “Bright”!
Pretty bright bursts (just right) of orange color are perceived with the movement in relation to the light source.
I would like to point out that the finish is particularly exemplary (excellent drilling, cut-out quality) and that the D'Andrea USA pickguards are electrically shielded with a self-adhesive aluminum sheet, also rigorously finished.
Finally, I find the price very reasonable for this quality.
Also, I have not had the experience of aging; I am confident, D'Andrea since 1922...
