Show me your Warmoth charcoal frost guitars please! Need pickguard ideas.

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!

I have not seen many members posting that colour, but the below link should provide a few ideas for you.

I don't have a charcoal frost guitar, but I'd probably go with black pearl or maybe silver pearl for the pickguard.

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?

That isn't what they breathe in down there!

With chrome PAFs? Tortoise for sure.

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

I always thought that red pearl would look pretty sweet on the charcoal frost.

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.
