I would recommend taking it back to the 90s so you know what luminous green really looks like.
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

Soak it overnight in coffee to give it a good "aged" look.

Flip it around and sell it as a LH pickguard

Fire, I think, will work.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

I'd put it out in the sun. Should only take 75 years assuming you live at or near the equator.

Use it for a while. In short order it will be near mint, then excellent, and before long VG+.

Re: How can i tame down this mint pickguard ?
Sorry, this should have been posted in the mods section ... and/or maybe even on my other thread for it about the swatch tele
I got a parchment pickguard. Can't go wrong with the classics.
But, so, are there two sizes of tele control plates? I had to file this green awful thing, and the clear guard i had before to get them to fit. They are both vintage 5 hole tele guards..
The new one i got is 8 holes.

Better? Or back to the original clear guard?

I think that's the best look yet, by a wide margin.
