Here's my dilemma. I have a tele that I built with a warmoth pao ferro fingerboard neck. It's gorgeous, but I hate the body for many reasons. I am trying to figure out what kind of body to get that will look good with a dark fingerboard.

 

I love butterscotch, but it just doesn't look right with a rosewood fingerboard (maybe someone out there has a pic that will convince me otherwise)

 

But post anything you got. I am looking for purely asthetic reasons, my ears are too tonedeaf to tell the difference in sound.

 

Thanks in advance!!

beautiful tele's folks.

 

Hondro - what is that third color? vintage blond?

 

Tweedledee - that green one, is it surf or seafoam (or something else)

 

Hardtc - is that shoreline gold? I love that

 

Thanks for the pics guys, keep em coming. I'm getting some good ideas.

Yep, shoreline gold. The pickguard is from a blank I ordered from Warmoth. That's an Anaconda snakeskin pattern. The colors match perfectly.

bump to see if I can get a few more ideas. I'm still researching options. I would love a pine body if anyone knows where to get one that is drilled and routed. Warmoth is where I got the neck, I suppose for compatibility I should probably stick to them.

 

Ash? Alder? Any suggestions?

Go fior swamp ash and try to have them send one that's under 3.5lb.
