Actually,.....they did describe the _crest_ as featuring a liver bird
maintaining a guitar in it's beak. Sounds more like a crest than a
charge, but it could be both. The four stylized beetle backs are not
attributed to either the arms, nor any part of the full achievement.
Technically,  "arms" are just the _pattern_ upon shield, close to what
we call a 'device' in the Society, and what one would wear upon their
shield, their personal standard and the armorial _coat_ of  arms over
their armour. Sir Paul could paint the four beetle backs upon his guitar
with the right field tinture, and it would still be his _arms_. The
_achievement_ is the full works, the arms, the crest, the supporters,
the motto, etc.

???? May I suggest "a tongue checky, gules and or". If you don't care
for that, you could always colour the fourth and fourteenth letters of
your name in a nice shade of green*.
