I started to do that but can’t tell if my original post and pics would get overwritten so I will remember that for next time!

They wouldn't.

Hey, what if the pickguard was made up of millions of color change LED's and one of the volume controls was a volume/momentary switch so you could tap through all the suggested color combinations everyone made.

Just turn your iPad into a pickguard.

Such a tough call.  I really like both.

Does anybody actually make a checkerboard pickguard?

I’ve not seen one at Warmoth, but I may not have dug deep enough.  That would be cool though.

 

I'm voting black.

Haha… Well… My ‘98 Phantom in TV Yellow has a black guard.

[DaveH]

Black, all the way.

[bry4321]

It is looking like:

White (including w/b/w and aged white): 3

Black (including b/w/b): 8

Other: (not counting "millions of LEDs" and "install an iPad"): 3 or maybe 4, I lost count to be honest

Winner: TORTOISESHELL

Just kidding I'm not doing that, and thanks for the suggestions I appreciate them!

No, it isn't.  Edit the post and add a poll.  (If you want).

Hey you were right!

Black

[bry4321]

This is from https://www.wdmusic.com/wd-custom-pickguards.html. I traced an outline and they made the checkerboard. After all this I probably like basic black the best. Added this pic to the OP too for comparison.

Checkerboard all the way. And change the center coil to white.

[Dutchman]

Chrome!

After a bunch of trial and error and a bit of $$$: 

 

Thanks @Dutchman

Hey!  Nice job.  I think you made a great choice.

[Disturber]

It needs a black pick guard. Every other colour with create ripples in the force.
