I’d either go aged pearl or keep what you have on.

Brown one is gonna be a "no" for me, Dawg.

The other two orleaving the original on is the right answer.

Changed my mind while typing.

Aged or leave it alone.

Parchment is my favorite shade, almost white but not true white. That's my call for a double bound tele. Three ply parchment/black/parchment.

Heads up ... crushed pearls, pearloids, motos, will shrink and warp often prematurely, regardless of how little they are exposed to warmth, heat, sunlight. If you are the type who leaves or forgets his guitar in his vehicle, you do not want a pearl or a moto guard. And don't cheap out (i.e, "but this one from China is $8 on eBay). Pay good money to get a nice one from a reputable supplier, or don't even bother.

On sunburst?



I would keep it as is. Mine (sunburst) came standard with a white pearl and I think it's fine too, but if you're adamant about changing it maybe consider black.

On sunburst a mint guard looks awesome.

I vote the aged pearl. I would highly consider a black pickguard like to above post.

Who did you end up purchasing from? I bought a pearl pick guard from warmouth a few months back because they were the only company i could find that did an 8 hole strat layout.
