decoboom pickguards look interesting - hadn't heard of them.

Whatever color it is, it looks good. I agree with mbene085 on the mint pickguard. It'll be nice no matter what you choose, though.

It's too bad we won't see how this one turns out. This had potential.

If OP ever gets a chance, I'd love to see a comparison shot of MJT's aged/yellowed LPB.

It's definitely their aged Ice Blue Metallic - they also shoot an "Ice Green Metallic", which is pretty much a yellowed IBM basecoat rather than just ambered lacquer.

Here's their IBM:

(Look familiar? ;) )

Here's the MJT Lake Placid Blue, straight, with checking, no yellowing, on my Spazzmaster:

I tried to get a little light reflection/flash to show the difference between their LPB and IBM. Their aged/yelowed LPB looks almost like Caddy Green (dark).

Hope that helps, but in any event, that's a ROCKIN' guitar!
