Where to get decent tort pickguards?

I've bought several over the years for £10-£15 and they have all looked horrible. Bought a decent one from Fender but it cost £50. Is there any source between those prices that does a decent looking one?

    John made it as part of a bundle of work he was doing for me so I don't have a specific price.  Best you contact him direct.
