Ok... My Roadhouse Strat is in need of a new pickguard (not really, but I'm toying with the idea)

Currently:
Its Olympic White, Tinted Maple Neck, Gold Hardware, 4 ply tortise shell pickguard

Any thoughts on a different color or should I just leave it well alone???

I hate the look of the tortoise shell on most guitars.My choice would be either a mint green one or a gold anodized one.

My choice would be Gold Anodized Pickguard with aged white pup covers, knobs & tip.

There is nothing wrong with changing the bonnet from time to time, well at least for me it keeps the GAS under control. lol..

Please post some pics when your done...

Take a look at the Cream colored ones that WD music sell.

How about either a 3 ply white parchment or black pearloid with black plastic pieces? What ever you decide, post pics when you are done. I love guitar pics.
