what is the best color/style of pickguard for a sonic blue jazzmaster?
I know you are thinking that it's a fairly subjective question but let's be honest.
it's not.
There has to be a right answer!

With Sonic Blue, I really like a mint green PG, with antique white knobs/trem tip.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

I would third the mint green, except I think all the modern aftermarket mint green pickguards/materials are too green. Therefore I like Parchment. It's perhaps a bit too white for many people's taste, but it's better than stark white, and not sickly green like mint.

Sonic Blue = :?

you are going to be the one to attach it so your opinion = 2 regular opinions.

Though the idea of sickly green is almost exactly what i want. I want a guitar that has kind of clashing victorian colors.

Like i want this house to be a guitar

Needs tort. Actually, I'm a big supporter of Sonic Blue or Daphne Blue with Tort, but it's gotta be a damn nice tort.

yes tort! But more of a brownish tort. Red tort would look a bit strange with blue imo.

I'm also trying to decide on a pickguard for a sonic blue jazz. I've been leaning towards the tort myself... I feel like a white pickgaurd is too bland if you have white/off white pickups and knobs and a relatively lighter finish color. That and I also like things that visually have stark color contrasts, like the house.
