Yep, mint followed by parchment on my opinion.

Yeah, Mint was my second choice... while not as grave as with Parchment - I'd still feel the need to change the pickguard covers to match it somewhat closely. But sound wise I don't feel any need to change the pickups - I'm very happy with them. But I'm someone who likes to tear everything apart and rearrange it from scratch... so we'll see, where this one ends up. ;)

That's a beautiful guitar, and mint looks just as good as black to me.

Took it to the rehearsal room yesterday for the first time to play it loud with loads of Fuzz and drenched in Reverb!
Rrrrrrooooaaaarrr! The temptation to use it for my band is high.... but I can't tune all my electrics to Drop C# - or can I?
...at least I'll need the nut cut first - as the stock strings are - surprise - way to light for that! Still... it sounded better than anticipated! :-)

If I end up with one of these, I'm going to blame this thread along with the 1964 Sherwood Green thread. Somehow, the magic of the Jaguar has evaded me all of these years. I have a feeling I'm going to be smitten.

Multiple vintera OTB threads… my GAS is acting up again! Great looking guitar, nice to see how other pickguards look with it.

My 70s OTM Jag had a pearloid guard ad it looked THE BUSINESS.

Gotta go Mint. It's the classic look.
