Help me choose a pickguard for my Bongo!

Alright, I've decided on Carbon Blue Pearl for the body but I'm not sure what colour pickguard would look good with it. I'd really appreciate input from you guys.

Moonstone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the moonstone, but I voted for abalone. I've seen photos of both and I really like what the abalone does on the carbon blue pearl.

 

[TSanders]

I have to agree. The abalone looks smokin on that carbon blue pearl.

 

[bovinehost]

Carbon Blue Pearl, you say?

 

[spectorbassguy]

Tough choice for me between Abalone and Moonstone, but I'll vote Moonstone with the carbon blue. Either one would be great though!

 

[johans]

yeap

definitely abalone or moonstone all look gereat ...

but since abalone has the bluish tint ... i think it will be more suitable than moonstone on carbon blue perl

Carbon Blue Pearl, you say?

What colour pickguard is that?
I'm thinking it's Moonstone but I'm not sure...


Oh, and if anyone has any pictures of bluish looking guitars (doesn't reallly matter if it's a Bongo) with Abalone pickguards it would be appreciated.

Black pearloid.

White perloid. Contrast is gooder.

Moonstone is the best pickguard... since there is a bluish color on moonstone..

Carbon Blue/Moonstone: I'm thinking about this exact combo when I order my Bongo 5 fretless.
