    Pickguard for "93" Mary Kay White?

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forums here and not to sure how to search for threads and I have a question. I just picked up a used 1993 Stingray with a 2 band EQ with Rosewood fingerboard in Mary Kay White. It's a smoking bass for sure.... Would anybody know of the color pickguard that came stock on this bass. I know that there were only 5 of this configuration made in 93 and I want to get the right pickguard for it. Maybe it's already on it! It's a vintage white pearl guard that's on it now. Any help would be great! Thanking all in advance.

    I have a 5-string of that Trans White and it came with a tortoise shell pickguard. There was a bit more of a red to it with larger yellow swirls from what you often see today.

    I changed mine to black because the top layer was starting to shrink and becoming unglued, especially at the corners over the screws. I might go back to tort one day.

    AFAIK, the original should be either tort or matte black

    Hey Mike,

    Thanks for the link..... Yes, I'm thinking matte black also. I did see a "93" before like mine only in the 3 band EQ and it had a Tort guard but can't be sure if it was original or not. Maybe I'll pick up one of each!

    Here's a pic. of the 1993 - 3 band EQ Mary Kay with the Tort Guard. Very small picture but it's all I could find.

    One thing to add: It might be difficult to get a the period correct satin matte black pickguard from EBMM. Maybe you have to resort to a third party producer.
