Members Arjae Posted May 31, 2006 Members Share Posted May 31, 2006 Here's the MIM tele I got for $249 on Monday. I got this guard for like $18 last night. I think I like it but am curious as to what you fine folks think. I also ordered me some Fender Custom Shop Texas Specials for it along with a Fender vintage bridge plate and some of those saddles from Budz Those should all be here for the weekend to get this thing up and running.

Members inscho Posted May 31, 2006 Members Share Posted May 31, 2006 I love the color of the tele, but the pickguard doesn't compliment it very well....I say get a plain white one and let it soak in tea/coffee for a while to "age" it....now that would be sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arjae Posted May 31, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 31, 2006 It came with a plain white one. I was gonna just get a white pearloid one but when I saw this one, I figured I'd try it out on there. Not sure what other colors would look good on it. But I hated the plain bright white.

Members PurpleStrat Posted May 31, 2006 Members Share Posted May 31, 2006 There just is not much you can do with that color. I would go pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members papa taco Posted May 31, 2006 Members Share Posted May 31, 2006 Red pickguard would go with that. It would still be ugly but ugly cool, not fugly ugly. taco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Arjae Posted June 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 Last night I picked up a white pearloid and a cream pearloid. Suprisingly, the cream didn't look that good. The white was cool but I think the one I have on there right now looks the best. I think my camera is not capturing the true color of it. It looks a lot better in person than in the pic. My g/f looked them all over and she said she liked the one that is on there now the best. I might have to take her word on it, especially since she didn't give me {censored} for bringing home another guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Man In space Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 It looks mighty fine to me, and I'm sure it works with a white pearl too; I have a MIM Strat like that. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4Kenoath Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 I think it works quite well actually...and probably much better in real life. I prefer cream pickgaurds more with darker colours and white is too damn over powering for subtle hues like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaSkip Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 Three Ply Black or Three Ply White. Maybe, Black Pearl.$0.98 less than a Buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike McLenison Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 I don't think it's that bad. I'd take it over plain white. If you get the white pearloid, make sure it's not the yellowing kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
