Unlike most here, I think Tort/Red looks awful over green. Way too clashy.

White pearl!

| | | | My opinion is, if you're going with a classic Fender color, why not keep with that look and put on the classic looking mint/parchment guard?
You really can't go wrong, it's a time tested choice that will ALWAYS look great.
Check out some pics online of old Chevy's from the 50's 60's and see how they accented the cars |

|  | Fingers, pick, and a little bit of slap | | Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Maryland, between Bawlmer & DC | | I love SFG/white. If white doesn't work for you, then I'd suggest:
parchment
cream
gold anodized
white MOP/pearloid Quote:

I also don't like tort with cool colors: LPB, Sherwood Green, etc.
Now that I think of it, I only like tort with traditional bursts. |

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