Anyone selling a subtle/dark mint green 11 hole SSS guard? Want mint green but don’t like the glow in the dark vibes

    Take a look in the Parts £ listings. Forum legend, ICBM, has a shedload of ‘em. (I recently bought one of his items. I should post feedback.)
    Be seeing you.

    Thanks for the offer, it’s not the colour I’m after, I think I’m going to end up buying a genuine fender one, seems to be the only one I like. Thanks everyone

    I’ve bought expensive high end relic mint pickguards before. Always too green for my taste in the flesh.

    I tried to go cheap, I drilled the original fender one for a switch, ended up putting it back stock after a while and bought a cheaper 3rd party one, and it’s pretty gross looking. The fender ones are far from white, but they’re a nice muted colour

    It is mint green although it doesn't look like it in the photos

    No I know but I’m looking more for the kind of greyish green like the one in my profile pic, thanks though

    The frustrating thing is that the one in the middle of the pic in my collection is probably the colour you want - not very green at all, and with a very faint hint of grey - but it's not a real Fender one, the shape is slightly off and the screw holes don't match. Going by the 8mm pot holes it's some sort of far-east one, but I have no recollection of where it came from.

    Steve's one is very close to the real vintage Fender colour too, at least as far as I can see in the pics.

    Crazy parts do great ones that are supposedly very close to vintage fender (far more subtle than the current production very green ones). I think Charles guitars sell them in the uk.

    @Alex2678 can you stick some before and after pics up when it arrives.

    I’ll get some pics of my real mint celluloid reissue guard up as well as a couple of others I have.
