Picking a Pick Guard, Oh the choices you have!

Hey,

I'm looking at replacing the whole pickguard assembly on my guitar pretty soon here. The only thing I haven't been able to decide on is my pickguard color.

The body on guitar black poly. The current pickguard is 1 ply white (8-hole). The guitar has a maple neck. Currently I have vintage white pup covers and knobs that are very weathered, they look creamish yellow. I would like to keep them if possible, but it's not a high priority.

Here's a link to a lot of different types I've been looking at http://pickguards.us/materialoptions.htm

Colors I've been considering:
-White Pearl
-Red Tortoise
-Red Zig Zag http://pickguards.us/images/142_red_zig_zag.jpg
-Tiramisu http://pickguards.us/images/145_tiramisu.jpg
-Mirror Black Plexiglass

I'm not limiting myself to that website, they just have a lot of options you don't see every day. The white pearl and tortoise are pretty common, and although nice, I wouldn't mind something a bit more unique.

Also, if anyone else is trying to decide on their color, feel free to chime in and ask too!

Thanks!

I like black on black.

Also, Moto.

I like that tiramisu.

Very unique, I've never seen one like that.

Tiramisu gets my vote! Very funky.

White pearloid is my favorite, though, I prefer black p/g's on light-colored Teles.
