    Red or Brown Tort on Red Bass

    Simple question, I want to replace the clear pickguard on my Fbass with a tort pg, too much gunk gets under the clear and becomes unsightly so I'm always having to remove it to clean the body. The finish is the standard trans red, rather dark, what do you guys think would match better in general...

    Where did you buy your Tort?

    There are so many options for a tort guard online..$9 right through to $200+ for the Spitfire. It's hard to tell what the best option is. Are the cheaper ones worth it? Where is the sweet spot? Or just go Fender official? Where did you buy yours and was it worth it? Also was the color online...

    Hey folks I'm intrigued. I've seen a quite a few LPB P's over the years with tort guards, but they generally seem to be refins. It got me wondering - was LPB & tort ever a factory option? If so, when..?
