Which pickguard would you pick?

[uOpt]

mint green
black pearl
white pearl

There is also creme but I don't have one right now.

The neck is probably gonna be replaced with a claptonish neck with abalore inlays.

I have the same pearl pickguard on my black Tele but on that strat I like the cream.

Re: Which pickguard would you pick?

I'd have to go with the darker pearl, It pops more than the other two.

Creme for sure. The other ones dont work with the colour of the body.

Parchment single ply.

Creme.

Re: Which pickguard would you pick?

I'm with Kramersteen on this ... the pearls are bit too busy looking and detract from the 3-tone burst. If I was going to use a patterned type pickguard I would try "Tortoise" as it would, in my opinion compliment the finish better than the others you're contemplating. For a solid color I would select "Creme".

Hmmm, thanks. Gotta hit the ebay then...

Never been a big fan of the "mother-of-bowling-ball" look.

That said, Strat pickguards are kinda like underwear. As long as they hold all the junk where it's supposed to be...the rest is just window dressing.

Aged white / cream. Depending on who you buy from you can get a lot of shades from a light parchment to coffee stain brown. If you have the cash, I'd buy several from different sources so you can try them all out. One will look way better than the rest, but it's hard to know which.

The mint green doesn't look bad at all, IMO. A def no to the pearls. Parchment would look good too.

I see this color scheme fairly often, white pearl on translucent blue with black knobs and pickup covers. I don't know why, but it really works:

Re: Which pickguard would you pick?

That second one, it looks like creme but going by your list it's the mint green? Either way looks good

Re: Which pickguard would you pick?

If it's mint green, then it won't appear like that in bright light. Definitely go with parchment or creme.

Re: Which pickguard would you pick?

Mint green, parchment would be preferred.

Re: Which pickguard would you pick?

Out of those options, mint green > black pearl > white pearl. I wouldn't mind either of the other two but wouldn't put the white pearl on it.

Re: Which pickguard would you pick?

Of the three, mint by a mile...though they are all hideous.

I'd just go with parchment or white.

Re: Which pickguard would you pick?

The white pearl doesn't look that white. Looks more silver. If it were really light white, it can look pretty good.

If not, tradition in me says, white, parchment, or mint.

Pearloid looks "good" against about three finishes. Against the remaining hundred it looks like something Saddam Hussein's interior decorator would have put together.
