I can't stand it when the plastic parts are shades off from one another (vintage white knobs on mint green pickguard, for example). But if you can live with that...

Definitely aged white on mint green for mw, with matching pickup covers, and switch and trem tips. Actully, though, I use tele knobs on my strats -- easier to get to. But on a mint guard, it would be aged white.

I think it depends on the colour of the Strat too. I love the creamy aged white on my artic white, but it didn't look very pleasant on my Crimsonburst

Agreed-depends (to me) on the color of the guitar in question. |

Pretty good to deal with too-just tried them for the first time, tortoise pickguard for my Olympic white Strat, couple aged trem bar tips (all genuine Fender) and a 12 pack of Gatorgrip picks. Quick shipping and excatly what I wanted.
Tried to ebay several different pickguards over the course of 2 or 3 weeks but refused to go over the $38.79 GRP sells 'em for, finally gave up and ordered it! |
