HI!

I like them both but if you have to choose one I'd go with the tortoise guard

With that maple top, I think white pearl might look great if you don't think it would be too pretty. If I had to choose for myself it would definitely be tortoise though.

I'm a real big fan of Mint Green on 59 burst but the tortoise looks really nice with the Rosewood board.

I don't own this any longer but it looks great.

the mint green would be different. most sunburst basses have a tortoise or white pickguard.

Mint...hands down.

Tortoise for sunbursts, black, and maybe olympic white if the f-board is rosewood. Mint seems to work with just about any solid color, and is also nice with a two-tone burst.

Tortoise pickguards look really classy.(Not that mint pickguards aren't, I just prefer the tort)

Nino, maybe it's the angle that your pics were taken at, but I cant see a hint of green in either.

I can see the green in this, however......
