Which pick guard?

[barberbassman]

I've been playing a tangerine pearl SR5 with maple board and black guard for 3 years. What other color pick guard would look good?

Tangerine pearl is reeeeaally close to the desert gold ...
possibly the same hue but a different degree of metalic
sparkle and/or clear coat.

I put a tort PG from Jeannie's Pickguards on mine, and
I specified that I did NOT want the "red" tort but wanted
the older style brownish tort, like you see on an antique
item like a comb or such, made of real shell-of-tortoise.

Wonder-of-wonders, as fate would have it, the yellow-ish/
orange-ish specks and chunks in the faux tortoise turned
out to be a dead match for the desert gold.

I'll say 1000 hail marys for recommending outside the EB
MM supply chain, but I am soooo pleased with that match.

Sorry, no pix. I'm 6 hours from home, and not headed
back there for some days ....

Do you have a pic you could post?

Abalone would look pretty good with that colour combo

Tort.

Well I'm still 6 hours from home but a search of
my laptop turned up a barely adequate pic, but
barely adequate is still "adequate" ... but barely !

You can fairly well see how the yellow-ish things
in the PG match the desert gold paint color.
