I want to make my Fireglo unique looking but I don't want to spend $50-$60 on a new pickguard to find out it looks ugly. Here's a good collection of pickguards available. . Anyone have picks of Fireglos with non-white pickguards?

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.
