Definitely the orange pearl . So happy yall now have purple pearl🤘🏻🎸

Thanks for reviewing some of the color combinations. The old version of the website had a very handy pickguard and body matching tool in strat/tele body builders. It would be great to have the same tool on the current site.
Also, there are two colors that I would like to see available: transparent/clear and mirror. The first is a very obvious solution for figured tops and rear-routeds, the second is just for fun.

Keep on.)

Swapping pick guards is such an easy and relatively inexpensive way to totally change the look of your guitar. My candy apple red Strat came with a mint green p/g, I then changed it to parchment and right now it has a tortoise shell p/g on it. All three look great and I can change it back whenever I want to. I dig the new colors. Great video Aaron!

The new pearl colors are very 3D… nice looking stuff!

[kelroundell]

Love the new pearls. Really a couple steps up. Beautiful

[Kazwell]

Love your replacement necks! Nice to see a wider variety of pickguards, very impressive.

[davehunt]

I like the orange with both the brown and the white. Both look great.

That's awesome Aaron, thanks a lot! So true, parchment, cream and mint (especially mint!) really are subjective to the eye, to what body colour you have or whatever colour-combo you throw your pickguard at!... That said, I've always been super happy with "Warmoth's Parchment" colour for my own stuff, but somehow found that Fender's shade of mint green really is unmatched by anyone else on the market, it's a more subtle green in a way compared to all other retailers (but that was about 5 to 10 tears ago, and things might have changed since then! If so, I'm happy for feedbacks!).

Also, I tend to order specific "SS" strat pickguards which really are not offered by anyone else than Warmoth, so I'm being 100% honest here, and have been totally happy so far... so thank you Warmoth for making SS-strat routings possible and keep on pickin'! ;-)

Love the new selections! Warmoth has been on fire lately.

[GraniteSoundtrack]

Fun video. I went for Sunset Orange transparent and tortoise shell. Complimentary. I love considering all the visual options.

[adambidas]

I was between black, gold anodized, or tort on my sunburst squier p. Tort was the way. You can’t go wrong with a sunburst and tort guard. Love it and it came out so great. Thank you for offering the left handed option which is not easy to find.

Bring back the visual designer! It was super handy to be able to try out different pickguards and hardware colours on your body!

You can still do it in Photoshop, technically, but that isn't as handy

[NicholasDunnAutistic]

Warmoth is really spoiling us now. Soloist top rout, new pickguards... Good time to buy.

[TimBraun]

The new colours look great! I'm a pearloid / tort fan, appreciate the warmoth quality and selection! Fun video 😂

[jehuspirit]

I like to put strat pickups in the neck position of telecasters. I also like to build Nashvilles. This gives me a lot of options.

[michaelallen]

I have a tortoise pick guard on my black strat but, I think the orange pearl would be a cool choice.🤘

[michaelthimes]

Charcoal frost and yellow tortoise are a great complimentary combo because of the yellow in the tortoise and the hint of blue in the charcoal frost. I choose a one piece maple neck to complete the tele custom build.

[sunn_bass]

Pearl pickguards are sweet looking. The pickguard makes all the difference in the looks. My oddest build is a telecaster shaped bass body with a leather pickguard.

I built my Warmoth bass back in 2015. I went with the P-bass deluxe 5. Wenge neck x bloodwood fingerboard is awesome! The body is a rear routed model, so I could understand why you guys don't/didn't offer a pickguard for it. But I was heart-set on my bass looking as much like the actual Fender bass model as possible. First, I ordered an American P-bass deluxe V pickguard replacement that absolutely didn't fit (it still hangs on my wall) Then I contacted you guys about a guard for it, to which I was referred to Terrapin guitars. Problem was, I had to mock up a design to fit it, from scratch (which I had zero experience, and it took me forever to get it lookin' right... many many posterboard trials, even though I just wanted it to look like a standard/normal pbass guard shape) When I finally got my design sent off to Terrapin, they took two or three months to get me the pickguard. And instead of the deep dark red pearloid I ordered ...they sent me a bright solid red ketchup colored guard! I was very disturbed... I reached out to them and never got a response. Got discouraged after that and just kind left it that way. I'd still love to get a pickguard made in a proper color from my design for your bass body. I'd appreciate it if anyone has suggestions for who makes a great pickguard from a template

I'm always worried about Gibson's cream 15:05 🤣
