I'm about to order a Warmoth HH mustang body in charcoal frost metallic, but having the hardest time deciding on a color for the pickguard. Leaning white (w/b/w), but I think it could also work with parchment or tortoise. Going to be putting chrome PAFs in it. Would love to see some pics for inspiration!
 
What color fretboard wood? If light colored as maple, I’d go black pearl. It dark colored as RW, Ebony, I’d go pearl or silver pearl
 
Personally I'm a hater when it comes to mother-of-toiletseat pickguards, so I vote tortoise (looks sharp on charcoal frost imo), but black, white, parchment, or even a mint green could be nice.

Good point. Rosewood!

Thanks for the input all! I usually shy away from pearloid pickguards, but I do see it working well in this application

I can help talk you through your hate issues! Start by breathing in through nose and slowly exhale through mouth. ………..See MOP pickguard s are not so bad now are they?

Should I be snorting pickguard dust when I breathe in through the nose? :unsure:
 
I wish Warmoth offered red tortoise option. I think that would be the ticket. I'm not a huge fan of the brown-ish tort
 
This is not a great pic, but several years ago I put together a Warmoth Cabronita with a rosewood Musikraft neck. I think the pearloid (which has aged a bit at this point) looks pretty good and coordinates with the dots on the neck.

That looks SO good! Thank you for sharing. Warmoth does a great take on charcoal frost, I like that it has a bit more color to it.
 
This isn't a Warmoth body, but its color is pretty close to Charcoal Frost. It's just a bit darker and a hair less blue: It's called Midnight. I think White Pearl looks pretty good with it. The hardware is bright nickel, but I think it would look just as good with chrome.
