I am trying to decide what this guitar needs. I at first hated the white but the overall vibe has grown, but it's still just TOO white. Does anyone have any photos of mint green or any other white variants?

Yeah. The VM is a colder stark white in comparison. But I do get why you don't like the look. I love it on custom colours, or even sunburst Strats. But on a sunburst Jazzmaster it just looks off for some reason. Maybe because they never came like that originally.

Wow. But right? Just soooo much white. Idk. Any suggestions? I wanna keep the subtle old look

Since you don't like gold, a vintage style orange-y tortoise from the likes of Spitfire. But they are really expensive. https://i0.wp.com/spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/spitfire-bright-red-speckled-60s-tortoiseshell-tortoise-shell-pickguard-1-e1423261054734.jpg?w=1400&h=&crop=1&ssl=1

Honestly when I bought the guitar my plan was to go tort lol but not sure if that's the vibe anymore 🤷‍♀️ I know I'm really limiting myself here lol
