They look about as classy as a trailer park IMO.

Looks good with a black strat style. My pickguard is white but I'll change it for a different tortoise guard one of these days.

I like them on natural ash, but that's about all. I really like black pearl pickguards a lot more. They look flashy without being cheesy imo.

On the right guitar (my 'burst '51 being one of those), yeah, I like 'em. Haven't bought mine yet, though.

Depends on the guitar and the colour. Looks cool on ny copper cyclone.

On the right guitar they look fantastic.

Anything black or white by Fender springs to mind.

Re: Do you like tortoise shell pickguards?

Ogh, no offense, but I really am not a big fan.

I like white, mint, black and pearl much better. No guard is the best, though.

What is that?! It's a Hohner I think right?

A guy I used to work with had the same axe but in white pearl. I set it up for him...played it a bit. Seemed like a pretty cool ride.
