According to the US EPA:

"Chromium (III) is essential to normal glucose, protein, and fat metabolism and is thus an essential dietary element."

True, but Chromium (VI) is poisonous...

I have a hunch I am being mocked here ...

No. At least I was being sincere. A black guard would look better than the one on it.

With a "strong" color like this one here, black pgs tend to look always better. White pgs bring the better visual result with more natural colors.

With this theory black basses should have black pgs...or do you consider black a weak color?

OTH 'natural color' basses, from maple thru ebony should always have white pick guards?

Black, an airbrush painter once told me, is not a color but an absorber and the absence of light!

I'll leave you to figure the Zen bit of this out.  :mrgreen:

An art tutor would always tell you that black and white are shades and not colours...

I only buy black basses now. Is that weird? Even my natural Ripper was black when I got it.

And some Pacific Island regime will certify everything as ok and that it is shark fin finished product which may be exported. Then Henry will say that he really likes animals and that all his grandchildren have rabbits as pets and that as recent as 1959 he saved a goldfish himself.

But only a few days later, the true hidden agenda will be unveiled.
