alright. thanks for the feedback for reaffirming some of my suspicions. I think I will keep the white one on.
I'm a little tempted to get a pearl pickguard, but i think i'll hold off LOL.
If you go for pearl, make sure you get the right one - the more greenish vintagey LPB looks really nice with an off-white aged pearl and the brighter blue looks better with a really bright white one.

I would use the anodized one if it's really aluminum just for the shielding it would provide. That trumps everything else to me.

Yes, Trump would have a gold one.

yeah but it would be 24k gold and i'm not sure how good the shielding is on those
or, y'know, the guarding-against-a-pick part of a pickguard

Mint. Or parchment. But of those three definitely white.

I'd have voted gold if that particular pickguard had looked a little more subtle/less yellow, more like
this. Between those three, the white guard wins. Black might look good too, though I think it looks best with maple necks.

Always white.
That tort looks like pig vomit.
