Celluloid tortoise pickguards

[Fernieite]

Hi folks,
I'd like to get a nicer (hopefully second hand) vintage looking celluloid tort pickguard for my Jazz Bass.
Are there any recommendations between Spitfire, Lavaguard, or Avantguard? (Or anyone else...)
Here's a photo to give an idea of what I'm looking for.
Thanks!

I'd better try again with the Sunday crowd. Thanks.

The Sunday crowd is here! Have you checked with Pickguardian?

No, I haven't. They sell vintage style celluloid? I'll check them out. Thanks!

Fwiw, I've had a Fender Pure Vintage guard on my J-bass, and I now have a WD tortoise one on there now.

However, it's still not that close to the real early to mid 60s Fender guards.

Some of the Spitfire, Lavaguard and Avantguard ones look really good in photos.
Just wondering what experience others have had with these or other celluloid tortoise retailers?

Plenty of good pickguards out there, but Spitfire puts them all to shame.

Looks like Lavaguard isn't taking orders at the moment.

What is everyone's preferred tort that isn't at the Spitfire price point?

I have an uninstalled Montreaux JB guard

PM if interested

Just placed a Spitfire order. 3-4 month wait before work begins. In the meantime, I'll keep my fingers crossed for a used one to show up here!
