I really like that darker shade of LPB that your guitar has changed to as the clear has yellowed. In fact I'd say I'd prefer the guitar without that 'tort' pickguard at all (not a fan personally) and just a mint green or maybe partchment 'guard instead.
I gag whenever people mention 'tort' on these forums.

Hahaha, we are so so way far off from even going in the same direction, but that's nice to know your personal taste. If you wanted to go with my old paint color, it started as this same bright LPB that I will be painting it again, but with a StewMac amber clear nitro I believe or something similar. It came to me somewhat light metallic blue aquar color and then within a year or so started going green. I actually really didn't like that and quite enjoyed the bright blue for the short time while I had it for a year or so. Since then I've always wanted the bright blue again and now is the time.
You will get a kick out of these. I've learned to appreciate both and also enjoyed it with a Spitfire mint guard. I went through the mint green guard phase for a while too especially since I had the supply to make awesome vintage nitrocellulose mint guards. This is back when the paint still had a little blue to it.

My sincere apologies as I've just noticed your signature and made the connection about you being a supplier of tort guards.
While I can't help what I've written, it wasn't meant as a dig against your business.
(I do like your other photos though
).

Haha, no all good man, you have a right to your opinion and personal taste. Tort is not for everyone. That's why I make mint guards too
