It's an old yellowed pearloid from a Squier "strat" pack on a Fiesta Red.

Try using some tan shoe polish to age the pickups.

Looks good but IMHO it would look better with black pup covers. I did basically the same thing on my Bullet only my p/g is pearloid white. The black covers really made the whole thing pop out visually.

The pickguard looks great! Have you thought about giving the pup covers a bath in coffee for hours, or a day?
