Anyone have a olympic white jaguar with a white pickguard?

FWIW, here's a guitar version with Olympic White body and white pickguard:

I have a photo of my white Jaguar bass with a white p/g on it. I wanted to see how it would look, so I took it off my Red Hot Red Jaguar bass and put it on the White Jag. Then I put the Tortoise Shell p/g off the White on the HRR Jag.

Both look pretty ugly! Believe me I switched them back immediately after taking the photos.

I'll post them shortly.

Ok,

Sorry for the delay. Here are the photos.

Again, all I did was to switch pickguards from one bass to the other for the purpose of the photo. The Tortoise Shell pickguard belongs on the White Jag, while the White pickguard belongs on the Hot Rod Red Jag.

The main reason your swap on the white Jag looks terrible is because the "white" PG is not actually white; it's mint-green. Fender used the mint-green PG to try to make it look more off-white/vintage to go with the aged block inlays on the neck. A truly white PG might look good, but it's hard to say. I think the white Jag is just too creamy colored to look good with a white PG.
