How minty is a mint pickguard

[willyk]

Has anybody used a warmoth mint pickguard? The whole mint thing is supposed to replicate the old white Fender guards that aged and went to snot but the warmoth color pop up on the site looks like pea soup. I'm hoping there's a pic out there that might give a truer indication.

Cancel that peurile request, I just looked on the official gallery and there are enough mint pickguards in there to make Kermit parchment with envy. Gawd I can be dumb sometimes :tard: :tard: :doh:

I thought the same thing, until I saw some in the gallery...Warmoth needs to update the sample pic on the Materials page...I don't like Pea Soup, but I do love Minty Freshness!

Has anybody used a warmoth mint pickguard?

I wonder if someone could post a photo of one from Warmoth that says "here is a Warmoth Mint PickGuard"

Here is a Warmoth Mint Guard.  To green for my taste, I use Callaham's mint guards.

None of the PVC guards are going to looks right. You have to get an actual celluloid guard. Lashing Guitars makes them http://www.lashingguitars.com. Expensive but its celluloid and the mint is just a fine olive/grey shade offwhite like the original vintage. Warmoth and everyone elses PVC are way to green. I think its the pastic. Celluloid has a marble like depth so perhaps thats why the shade can be done with Celluloid and not PVC. You have ot see these things in person. The hue does not come accross in photos at all. But I can tell a CCelluloid guard from PVC in a second up close.

I was just looking at Mint guards the other day.  I actually like them to look greener.  WD has a green mint pickguard, but it may be my monitor.

Between digital cameras and LCD displays, it's a color that's very hard to accurately reproduce. If there's a GC or another store that stocks pickguards you can check, the Warmoth coloration is very similar to the Fender one.
