Pickguard ideas

So yeah I'm painting my Fender jazz

Royal Crown Purple
that color.... my current idea is to find a pickguard to fit it has been making me go cross-eyed in the amount of choices... maybe you can give me some suggestions... I'd really like to find a purple one Link Removed

Also liking the thought of a white.... or Black.... give me your thoughts =D

Too funny, I am doing a Squier P project in Reranch Crown Royal Purple.

I have also been thinking about pickguards and have come up with a few options.

I would stay away from adding any other hues to that color. That leaves black, white or nothing. Some googled purple jazz pics. Hmmm gold doesn't look too bad.

I like the idea of the white/black/white... but to me I'd want the black to be thicker of an outline... I'm kinda hoping that the routing wasn't an issue and we'll just cover the screw holes..... my guitarist is doing it (don't worry he does a great job, wouldn't trust my jazz to just anyone).... he has it curing right now... but he thinks that it had a wide routing..... but hmmm... yeah the black/cyan would be cool in purple... if it was a matching purple.... I just dont think the red tort is gonna go well with it lol... keep the ideas flowing =D
