Good pickguard combination for Fender Stratocaster

[kernelspy]

Hi. I want to change the pick guard color and knobs of my Fender Strat which is Olympic White color. Which do you think goes well with a white color bodied guitar? I'm choosing from these options -->

* mint green
* aged white
* black
* Pearl brown

Any suggestion and pictures are welcome! Cheers!

Hey bro, haven't seen u around in some time.

Among those choices I'd say either aged white or the pearl brown which is like tortoise shell right?

bro... you don't need $$$$ & GAS to be with friends here...

Black would be my choice

Yeah man. Don't need GAS to post and chat round here.

White is a pretty neutral colour so you can't really go wrong with most colour pickguards.. You can even mess around with a green pearloid pickguard haha.

Haha... nah... it's what I meant. I'm just mearly stating the fact that I'm forcing myself not to drool on Classifieds lately. I'm mostly lurking anyways in forum as you can see from my post count.

Anyhow, let me check your suggestions and see. I saw the 'aged' Fender Jap in TYMUSIC and it's really awesome.

I call bullshit beacause I am using Firefox.

As for IE, well...

You can't go wrong with black on white, or be more flamboyant and choose something else, hey it's your guitar.

if your fretboard is a dark-wood type (ebony/ rosewood), the tortoise shell pickguard is the best complement IMO.

Mine's a maple

Tortoise shell would be a good match for the white body. Brown pearl and tortoise are not quite the same. Black pearl would be nice, too.

WHITE. Aged white, whatever white. And white knobs and white pickup covers etc.
Pure guitar.
Either that or tortoise shell (i use that).
Or if you're feeling crazy go for hot pink with pink dimarzio pups and pink knobs.

Since its a maple fretboard I agree with Jumpin'Jellybean. Aged white would look great on it.

I know this is not a fender...But this looks really nice to me

check out the pickguards made by monster relic. IMO the mint green pickguards from allparts don't look good but when they are relic-ed, they look awesome.

since yours is a maple neck, you might wanna consider single ply pickguards just to be era correct.
