pickguard poll for my honeyburst lined fretless sterling

[Brim]

I've been staring at my lined fretless honeyburst Sterling for a few days now and am starting to think a pickguard change might be in order. I'm leaning towards black pearloid, but I would love to hear the opinions of my fellow EBMM'ers.

Take a look below at the compiled pickguard option pic below (straight from the instrument builder on the EB site). Try to imagine as the 6th option, a clear pickguard which shows off the full burst & grain on the body. Unfortunately, my sterling is not a full one-piece body, but you can barely tell on the front - on the back it's obvious, but insane amount of birdseye on the neck makes up for this!

Let's vote!

 

[Dr Stankface]

A vote for the white pearl!

 

[bassmonkeee]

I like either tort, or clear.

 

[fogman]

In order of what I think looks best is:

Black
Tortoise
White Pearl
White
Black Pearl
Clear

You can't go wrong with any of the choices, though I wouldn't do the clear at all.

 

[Figjam]

Tort.

Do not pass go, do not collect $200 unless you go with tort.

[Mobay45]

Tort that beeyotch!

 

[UKFIN]

White as it sets ofF the burst nicely

 

[BigStrings]

Black, White Pearl or Tort. I've got all three pickguards for my Honeyburst, Rosewood Sterling. After I put Tort on the others got shelved.

 

[todd4ta]

White pearl, then black.

 

[Aussie Mark]

Tort or black

 

[Psycho Ward]

What Larry said!

I vote tort or black pearl. My black pearl on trans orange looks amazing. Seems to be an underated choice but the black pearl looks fantastic in real life. photos don't do it justice. having said that, Tort still rules!
