I would never have come up with "Tort on Pink" all by myself, but it works really well and looks great.  If you're going for a unique look, that would be it.  If you get bored with the Tort you could always put a black guard on it, as "Black on Pink" is a great combo as well.

So I now have an early '64 (Jan.) neck for this guitar and it's really nice!  I got it from enormous.  I'm now almost ready to prep the body for a paint job.  It's kinda cool the way it is but it would be awesome refin'd.
I don't think i'm gonna do pink because I'm making another JM for my g/f (white blonde ash Novak body).  I don't think I could pull off a pink guitar on stage... 5 years ago no problem.  I dunno...
maybe some sort of blue (the anti-pink )  After getting that refin'd '64 Jaguar body in Sunburst, I'm kinda thinking about SB for this one too...  My first JM was a 1960 Sunburst.  I miss it dearly.  It now lives in Australia and spends most of it's time in a recording studio so it's doing okay.

Anyway, The 'new' neck on this one is really great.  The best part is that it's pretty much a quartersawn neck!

Don't feel pressured to make me happy or anything...

I honestly really like that as it is.

If you're considering red, Dakota looks great with a tortoise guard.  I'd also suggest Burgundy Mist/Tortoise as a pretty sweet combo.  You could even have a cool target burst done.  I love mid 60's bursts as much as anything.

I love Dakota/ tortoise. Here is my refinned May '62:
