Those are a good, sensible compromise between quality and price. Spitfire make really fantastic guards, but they are very expensive and really only worth fitting to a genuine vintage instrument or a very good replica.

Fortunately it's my 64 precision I'm looking at getting one for, it will look stunning (once I have the brownie points)
Unless anyone is selling one!

I liked the black, I think I liked the mint as well but sitting here in the dark I thought it made the bass take on a pinkish hue?

I just showed Mrs2611 the mint picture and asked what colour the body was, she said pink as well

Yes it's a trick of the light... None of the pickguards are quite the colours they look in those photos. I needed to take the photos outside really but a downpour prevented that unfortunately.

The body is quite a pure white, although even in reality it looks a little pink with the mint guard on...

Or you could put one of those fancy wooden ones on. That's perverse enough to be worth a try, I reckon.
