So I'm about to take ownership of a CFM Strat body which will be mated to a VHR62 Neck and some Bareknuckle Pat Pend 63 pickups but I can't decide what colour pickguard to go with...

...I'm thinking White may be a little too bright, so my first thought is Parchment, but then I was wondering what Mint Green would look like against CFM (what colour pickup covers would you put with a Mint Green PG?) or whether anyone else had any suggestions?

Pictures very, very welcome....

How did it sound to you?

For Charcoal Frost Metallic I'd go with a parchment pickguard and aged white parts. I find that mint green used with certain colors makes them look dingy and uninspiring -- the reds especially, and some blues or finishes with a high blue pigment content (such as CFM).

JMOOC, YMMV
