I'm thinking parchment or maybe nice yellowed white pearl.There really aren't a lot of choices for this color.

...That color is not working for me... I'd refin. It'd open up guard options as a benefit as well 8)

that color is awesome. dont refin.

there are already enough surfy strats around.

i think almost any guard but tort would look fine. maybe not mint either, but white or pearl, or the aged variants (except mint) of either would be nice.

what about gold ano? itd be ugly in the good kind of way.

I think it would look cool with an aged pearl guard.
