When I saw that the dark onyx was actually quite a light color, I thought a pearl pickguard would be suitable and also as the body was routed for humbuckers a HSH arrangement would make sense. Tell me what you think. I also have the white SSS from the kit and a plain black will arrive soon with two humbuckers and a single pickup.

Red tortoise shell...... ;)
Go the pearl.
While I'm not a big fan of the Collywobbles, gotta go plain white - keep it classic...
Go the pearl IMO. Will look awesome against the chrome humbuckers. Build is looking great!
Cheers,

I'd go pearl as well. The white looks good, but it's a bit generic.
Pearl all the way
Either pearl or get yourself a good piece of tortoiseshell!
i like the pearl one
Applied the silver highlights across the grain and it seemed to be quite thick when it dried, so steel wool right back until smooth and took off some of the more obvious silver streaks, then applied the first top coat very thin. Apologies for the camera quality, hands are still shaking from all the sanding. Flash shows how the silver sticks in the pores of the grain.
First photo is before the steel wool and second and third are after the first top coat.
