Im looking into purchasing an expert retro 54 in normandie blue, when looking on vref it says the standard pickguard is white/black/white and i have seen pictures showing this and that is the colour i would want, however recent pictures i have seen and other colour retros seem to be coming with a single ply cream pickguard, is this standard on all colours now or is the white/black/white still available.

It is a mistake with vRef, the Expert 54 comes with a white pickguard as you will have seen in the pictures. 
 
Check out the new version, the Expert Classic Rock - just come back from NAMM and can say it is amazing, the Amber p/ups are very musical and sound stunning!

Vref is right, it is us that decide to put creme pickguard....but we have not decided if we will do it as standard...

The Amber's are not noiseless - they are true vintage single coils and quite simply 'wow' when you play them!! Best single coils I have heard (I will order a Classic Rock / Amber loaded pickguard for my Expert Retro 54).
Creme pickguard as standard for the Expert Classic Rock, please Patrice...I thought it was already decided - the one at NAMM looked perfect!!
