Poll: pickguard color for Seafoam Green?

[EagleMoon]

^^^that is more acid trip than tie dye

i think black paisley would look cool, only cus b/w/b was not an option

That's what they call it. I didn't name it.

 

[Thangfish]

How about a white pearloid?

Nice!

 

[Bulltrout]

Mint would be very classy

 

[Stickk]

White Pearl?

 

[bassanddrums]

Black Paisley vote from me!

 

[FL Knifemaker]

I like that better than the original choices. Usually I don't go for busy pickguards, but this looks real good.

Seafoam + Abalone???? It's only natural

The only minor downside is the pickguard costs about $70 from WD Music.

Hey Bongo,
I know this may not help, but have you seen the Baltic Amber pg on the Dingwall Super J site?
Man I just think that pg kills with a darker colored fretboard like rw or pau ferro.
I just don't know who else has that color.
Check it out here http://www.dingwallguitars.com/html/products_superj_tn_gallery.html
Perhaps you could make one fit if Dingwall would let you order one from him.

I voted for cream pearl.

OTOH, I think a white guard looks great on a seafoam bass with a lot going on, like this Lakland Duck Dunn.

I just put a cream pearl on a black p... it looks sweet. that's a safe bet that will look good... IMO

Clear or white pearloid.

 

[Rumblefisher]

It's on the 50...the 40...the 30.......it's PEARLOID all the way for the touchdown!

brown and green is awesome!!

Abalone is the only natural choice.

But did you check that Dingwall site out?

Looks great although $70 is steep, especially for me because I've been known to change my mind about such things.

I'd go white with a rosewood 'board, black with maple, but the OP isn't into either one.

I'm inclined to agree about that abalone. I'd want a lighter shade of it, though. All of the choices I listed in the poll are from one pickguard shop, but there are obviously others, and I've found a couple that have some really nice abalone-type material. They also have that Dingwall brown swirl material.

So many good possibilities...

The black/silver paisley is just awesome.

 

[Mike 3339]

I think ivory is your best bet man

 

[Mr. Mig]

Mint.

These guys make the prettiest pickguards I ever saw, out of plexiglass, and with polished edges.

Check out the Teal Pearl.

The Light Abalone or Venetian Marble (under 'Stone') would look great too, if you want more contrast.
