Cream pickguard for MIM Jazz

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone have a cream pickguard on a black and maple MIM Jazz?
Trying to visualize some different p/g's that would work with this configuration.

Doesnt have to be a Jazz, but mine is black n maple so anything like that would do.
Thanx greatly in advance for any pics.
Jeff

I woudn't go with cream, as I think cream guards look too "I bought a different guard for my bass". I like my aesthetic Fender mods to look as stock as they can, so for me it's either black, tort or parchment. I'd use parchment (it looks more like aged white) instead. I think the white guards look just a bit too new for any bass.

A 3-ply or maybe even 4-ply black guard would be my choice for black and maple in any case.

EDIT: Sorry, I have no pics.

I thought about parchment as an option.
The plain white isnt for me.
Its got a black p/g on it now and looks okay.
Just looking to personalize a little.

But that's your own personal, individual preference. Not everyone thinks or percieves things like you.

Personally, I love cream.

Do what you want to do with your bass. Use your creative instincts, don't worry about what others think.

being that it has a black body and maple neck, i decided not to go with my original choice of a green pearloid.
Looks good with a rosewood f/b but I dont think that would go with a maple f/b.
I'd just like to see what a cream p/g would look like on it without having to buy one and end up not liking it, ya know?
Maybe I should get some different colors of construction paper and make some templates!

Pics no where. This simulation might help though.

My parchment guard looks great with rosewood but I think I'd prefer 3 ply black/white/black with maple.

Gold would look pretty good too
