I like the way Mint looks with those black covers. But if you had the white covers I would go with the tortoise.

+1.
I also like Jerker's suggestion of a black guard... with black witch hats and trem tip...

my suggestion: only go the tort way if you can find a halfway decent looking one.
parchment is a no-brainer, should look terrific.

+1, I think the black headstock and body and all really highlight a nice tort guard.
