IBM Jaguar refinish pickguard choice....
I'm going to refinish my KC Jaguar that's currently a 3TS into Ice Blue Metallic.
I've ALWAYS wanted that color and i think it will compliment my Black/Spitfire Jazzmaster.
But i'm looking at options for pickguards.
I plan on replacing the cream DiMarzio pickups with some chrome shawbuckers from a Tele Deluxe Pro.
SO... lots of chrome.
what do you think?

Re: IBM Jaguar refinish pickguard choice....
Of your choices, white or black would work equally. I would probably put white pearl on it myself.

If it's a road worn , I would sell the body and buy a natural one and have that refinished and buy a pickguard with the profits. (white pearl would get my vote too.)

If you're truly concerned about meeting the majority expectation of a bunch of internet strangers, you should probably add Spitfire tort to the list and place your order now. I hear there's a bit of a waiting period...
plus shipping time...

It’s a normal non-relic version.

Re: IBM Jaguar refinish pickguard choice....
I had a cream pickguard on my IBM Jm. I thought that looked the best.
If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

Mint green would be my choice to stay out of the spitfire mega bucks

Re: IBM Jaguar refinish pickguard choice....
How is mint not in the choices? That's the most classy combo for IBM. Parchment - to my eyes anyway - is another word for "still way too white". A picture of IBM+mint for reference:

Note: mint has a tendency to look garish/comical from 3rd party vendors. Always worth buying genuine Fender if you go for mint.

Re: IBM Jaguar refinish pickguard choice....
My original 66 IBM has parchment. I guess it was white once. I know I'm a bit geeky, but mint would be wrong, having been discontinued before IBM was introduced. Personally I hate pearl.
Parchment gets my vote.
