I'm thinking about using the Martin style tortoise colored pickguard (MPGTB) on my next build. Are there any opinions on this pickguard?

I've used the red-colored version (MPGT) on a previous build, and it wasn't too bad. Yes, it's printed; but not nearly as obvious and pixelated as some of Martin's. If anyone has a close-up picture of the MPGTB in normal lighting, it would be greatly appreciated.
