I've recently gone down the wormhole of replacement plastics for my '08 R9 and in doing so have learned a bit about "bone white" vs cream. Is it true original late 50s pickguards were originally a bone white color? I can't find any old pictures of les pauls where it's definitive. Any newer pics, the guard has aged and I really can't tell..
I've also found that original switch tips where actually white, which aged to the brownish color you see now. Which begs the question - if non-VOS "True Historics" and the like are a near perfect modern representation of a new 1959 LP, why are the switch tips not white?
