radioactive. i'd hit it.


how do you save those pics?




I don't know how everyone else does it, but I just hit the "print screen" button, then opened MS Paint and Cntrl / V'd to paste it in there. Then I cropped it and saved it as a JPG. :)

That second tele looks nice, but it is closer to Surf Green IMO.

Here's one in SFG, without the matching headstock:

Rosewood board? Well, I think maple boards with a matching headstock look a little funky personally, but OTOH, maybe I should ditch the painted headstock idea and go with a maple neck since I generally think they sound better / more appropriate on a Tele anyway.

Binding? I thought about that - used to have a candy red MIJ '62 Custom Tele RI, and I thought the binding was pretty cool. I think the body was basswood, and unfortunately, it sounded thin and lacked punch. :( Great neck and a beautiful looking guitar though!

Anyway, thanks for the feedback guys - I'm thinking about having my buddy (a master builder at Fender) build me a custom shop guitar, and I'm trying to narrow down exactly what I want it to be. :)

:thu: On the last one posted. Matching headstocks are hard to pull off and IMO have to be really a really subtle color. I really like what you have picked out there. Doesn't hurt having a friend at Fender either. ;). It's nice being out here so close to the factory (you're closer than I am) but I think we get to see more that the lions share of custom shop guitars out here. Hope you get one you love.
