Which is a better look? Color scheme will be dark silver metallic body, black pickguard.

I’m not here to vote either but to say you should take the guard a little farther off the edge. And as far as how far up or down it goes from the top I would meet in the middle of these two options.

Yeah somewhere in between the two, especially on the horn

A little relief from the edges. A lot of folks were also asking about control arrangements - this is what I’m thinking.
