Where to get decent tort pickguards?

What's Hot
I've bought several over the years for £10-£15 and they have all looked horrible. Bought a decent one from Fender but it cost £50. Is there any source between those prices that does a decent looking one?

    Single ply translucent tortoise with copper foil backing.  I believe he did an 8 hole version at the same time that he may be willing to sell.  His contact details are on his website .. http://www.jxgguitars.com/

    John made it as part of a bundle of work he was doing for me so I don't have a specific price.  Best you contact him direct.
