Almond pink pickguard material

Post by 61fury »

Looking to source almond pink, like a pale pink version of mint green. Internet searches bring up pink counter tops, (available at Lowes), acrylic sheet, etc. Also considering dyeing white pick guard material ( I've got some RIT scarlet and a trash white pg to experiment with). A musty old lady pale pink, maybe a bit yellowy. So far I haven't seen any guitar/pickguard oriented place selling pink Any opinions?
Also if I go the counter top pink it's 1/16", maybe just use that width or glue it to 1 ply white PG material. Whats the best glue, technique for this? Ive got some of those big ass 2" thick solid cinder blocks to smash the plys together , or clamps? .Thanks all.

At least one of those pickguard places has mirror pink. Terrapin has some interesting stuff, I just ordered a 3.00 sample from them.

Pink Mirror pics

Are there pics of her pink mirror beast? I'll try a PM to her, but the search here is terrible and she has 12K posts to sift through. Pink mirror seems a bit gaudy but all options are on the table. PM sent.
