Jack, or Mr. Ripper, if you prefer ;)
I've been looking at getting a few potential Pickguardian pickguards myself. I've got to ask you though...

Yours looks more like "White Pearl", under the "Custom Acryllic Plexi Colors" section of his website, than it does any of the variety of white-ish pearloids (white, cream or parchment)...

Am I right about that? I'm curious because I love the swirling Psychedelic look you've got going there. I first saw it on, on some sort of custom Rickenbacker project they used to have posted there in the pics section, but which they have since taken down, sadly.

I was looking at using those swirling "Custom Acryllic Plexi Colors" to get a white pearl for my Jetglo 330... some kind of camel pearl (or mica- thinking camel pearl is closest to the old Rickenbacker pale gold guards) for my Fireglo 360/12... and maybe another white pearl for my Mapleglo 4003s Bass.

I was also looking at either the cream pearloid or the white pearl for my Tobacco Sunburst Stratocaster... and I think a mica (or camel pearl) full guard for my Olympic White Jaguar (I want to eliminate all the chrome... so a full guard in something closest to anodized gold- thinking the mica is closest to the old brilliant Fender anodized gold guards)

The one I have is White Pearloid/White/Black/White. It looks very good and is a nice piece.

I love this look. I just bought a 4003 like this one and came across your pearloid pickguard. I really want this look for mine. There other pearloids that look different, whiter, smaller detail. I like this one that's a little grayer and with bigger swirls. Can you tell me where you got it? And did you get the truss rod cover to match?

Thanks,

It looks really good with the Midnight Blue finish. I got it from Pickguardian, but I didn't make a matching TRC.
