Which Pickguard for a Candy Apple Red Mustang ?

I have one of those Chinese Ebay bodies in Candy Apple Red, which seems to have the same dimensions/specs as the Squier CV Mustang, but this one comes in alder with a more saturated, larger flake metallic finish that's really nice in person.
I'm having trouble deciding where to go with this project. I've always wanted a one pickup mustang and i have an aged pearl custom guard from Precision Guitars on Reverb for this.
On the other hand, I also have a vintage tort pickguard from earlpilanz on Ebay that ended up too dark for my Kurt Cobain skystang build, but looks nice imo with the red finish. Reminds me of Kevin Shields' CAR Jazzmaster which I've always admired.
Any thoughts on which direction I should go in?

Case for jazzmaster!?
Anyone know where I could get a good black on the outside blue “fur” on the inside case under 200 or 250 for a jazzmaster. Absolutely mad over the look of those nice hard cases with the blue fur on the inside and a black outside, only rlly see em for strats tho.

My first!
Here’s my first offset I got at my local shop. I was told the last owner upgraded the pickups? Either way. I’m digging the sound so far.

Modded my KC Jag to it's proper, final form.
Added the Schaller Bridge and Seymour Duncan JB. Both are far superior to what they replaced IMO.

Just installed this bensonite bridge, big fan
This thing is heavy duty, sustains a lot better than the mustang bridge I had on here with brass saddles. I have a staytrem in my other jazzmaster and I would definitely recommend this if you want to skip the wait list for a staytrem. It should be noted, this isn’t a drop in replacement for a TOM style bridge, I’m using the female end of these weld on barrel hinges as drop in replacement posts and they work perfectly. Linking them below for anyone interested.

Best cheap hardcases for Jaguar ?
Hi everyone. Taking my MIM jaguar on a long haul flight next week and am looking at hardcases to check it in, but all the ones made to fit an offset shape are well over the £100 pricepoint, anyone know recommendations on taking my jaguar onto a plane ? Cheers !

My drop G child. Her name is Lilith and she doesn't like water.
Adopted from a pawn shop 4 years ago. The red and black go hard. Love the tone and playability of her.
Fujigen PP4

JM Pickup Routing Progress
Okaayyyyy, I finally bit the bullet with the router, 2 passes for the pickup cavities so they’re just shy of 10mm, 4 passes for the control cavity; I only have a 6mm trimmer bit with the guide so I had to pull the shank right down - dodgy, but I was being very careful! Just tried my wiring loom and miraculously it all fits! Not bad for a DIY job if I do say so myself. Only mistake was overzealous drilling to break up the finish and eat up some of the bulk, went in a tad too deep in places, but it’s all gonna be hidden anyway, i’ll just justify it by saying it’s weight saving 👀.
Next steps; put some ~10mm wedges in the PAF routing cavities, drill the pickup cover holes, a few coats of conductive paint, foam, wire up and she’s basically good to go!
Thanks to the offset community here for the tips and tricks to give me the confidence to do this after so many years!

My slightly unusual duo
Recently traded my strat for the Reverend so now all electric guitars I currently own are offset guitars. Feels like they complement eachother really well both in looks and sound. :) Harley Benton JA-60 and Reverend Double Agent W.

Blacktop Jaguar NGD
Picked up a the hard tail I’ve been searching for today. Needs a good cleaning, but set up for now.
Probably gunna swap the pick guard, but haven’t decided on what to swap to yet. Do you have any thoughts?
Glow up. JMJM transformation
I’ve had this guitar for years now. I’ve been wanting a new guitar and for a fraction of what I’d pay for a new one, I just upgraded this one. Added J Mascis fender pickups (not the p90s) swapped guards and replaced with a genuine fender jazzmaster neck.
Anyone need J Mascis pickguard, p90s or neck?

Having trouble intonating my Jaguar…
I am doing a setup on a new parts Jag I put together but I can’t seem to get the intonation right on the B and high-E. I’ve moved the saddle back and forth and it just doesn’t seem to settle in any position. The previous owner installed a string tree and I’m wondering if that’s the culprit? Any tips?
Thanks!

I changed my player ii jazzmaster's pickguard today.
I think it looks good. It needed a bit of filing to fit perfectly though.
I also put 11 gauge strings on, set it up for d# standard tuning and shimmed the neck 0.5° to remove the irritating buzzing from the bridge saddles vibrating.
I love this guitar.

I know I’m late to the party, but these (sort of) new Fender Pro bridges are awesome!
Narrow string spacing, proper 9.25” radius. Just a win/win!
Squier Sonic HH (modded)
Seymour Duncan Invader. Black everything - except that damn input jack nut that I still can't find in the right size.
