Another pickguard choice

Not yet, but I will be! I have a burl walnut one on my black MIM P bass, and I want a matching one for my Squier cv 50s P, but the chap I got mine from is no longer doing them. I came across this site whilst looking for a wooden one and I think it's the way to go. Just looking through photos of walnut burl for the best one to upload!
I have the identical model in Arctic White with its white guard. I just love the dropped copper look and it took me a while to choose between the two of them. I'm not going to recommend a colour change; I'll wait to see what you do.
I have another one in Sonic Blue. I got some faux abalone stock and made a guard for it.
Someone suggested copper on copper and the site @Wyrdlow suggested has a few copper variations that look killer in the configurator. I'm leaning that direction right now.
I got the same bass not long ago. I love the Dropped Copper color, but like you I wasn't a fan of the white pickguard. I just kept it simple and went with Tort, which was already made and fit perfectly. I think it looks much better so I can't imagine doing anything different. Maybe an exact Dropped Copper pickguard would look nice, but those don't exist.I picked up a Sterling short scale Stingray like this in dropped copper. The white guard is not doing it for me at all.
I'm thinking either anodized gold, black or a nice tort.
Other suggestions welcome.
