Please don't go LPB.
Hate to add a sonic to a sonic, but if the guard were lighter or well worn, SBL would actually work with that guard. Almost.
Case in point, though it wold not be easy to recreate and you need another color in your arsenal. Dakoda Red would almost accompany a well worn guard if you squint your eyes.

Mmmmm.....Sonic Blue, only second to Daphne! Damn, that is a hot color. I like Mike's suggestion too as it probably is the least messier and completely reversible.
Still thinking......

As for guards, though, you should think about making your own...

I don't have the tools to make a guard.

There's tools? I thought it was like, material, dremel, dremel accessories...

I consider a Dremel a tool, and I don't have one.

They're cheap down here. The only thing, is you ain't gonna do much with it, just little tidy work. I'm fairly sure that a lotta people route out their guitars with one, though, if that's an incentive.

Imagine:
yea, but that's with a rosewood neck. tort with maple necks looks... echhh
they just look tacky to me.
I say white or mint guard.

I've got my fuzzosonic I'd swap.
Though it is not blue.

I probably would swap, but you might not want to trust me after all the shit going on...

I just found that GPR has DS pickguards

those are for vintage duo sonics, not the re-issue. but they are made by WD Music, who do make pickguards for the re-issue. you can get them from their website.
http://www.wdmusic.com/fender_replaceme ... 60_ctg.htm they can be stupid expensive however (they are the only people that make them so they charge what they like
).
I feel like I've made this post at least 3 times in the last month...
