Members Brian May Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 Just 'won' this baby.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140412244414&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Now what colour pickgaurd will complement it?? Parchment? Cream ie off white pearloid??? Other?? Anyways when this comes I plan on keeping it and not selling it on...it will be my 3rd USA Tele...always ended up selling them on to fund something else...but as you can see its high time I learn my lesson and keep at least 1 Tele in my collection. Every guitarist should own a Tele and a Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members golias Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 I say stick with the black... or if you're serious about keeping it, get one of those embossed leather guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xStonr Posted June 6, 2010 Members Share Posted June 6, 2010 Thanks. Leave it as it is. It looks great with the black Pguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lefchr Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 Is it a white guitar already? Something about the picture, I can't tell what it color it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian May Posted June 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 Its Vintage White thats the official name for that colour...its a creamy beige colour in the flesh - I know because my last Tele was exactly this colour also although that had a maple board. My first was a 2 colour sunburst also with a maple neck...so this one will be my first ever rosewood board Tele. Oddly I'm looking forward to it!!

Members GreatDane Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 if you end up swapping out the guard and want to pass this black one on, please let me know. I have a tele that desperately needs a black guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RUExp? Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 I think a 3-ply parchment would look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angry Tele Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 Its already got a black guard! White or off white (parchent is defo a strong contender though). just today I swapped my black 52RI guard with my mint/white CVC, and neither worked. The green on the butte blonde looked hideous, and the black on the sunburts looked OK if not for the edges dissapear into the black part of the burst, (Im thinking b/w/b would break that area up and look good) unless the guitar is a more pale yellow opaque like the mid-late 50s Teles looked where white might look good Id stick with black.

Members StillRock Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 And what's wrong with the black pickguard? Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vintage_freak Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 I vote white. Look at this picture and tell me you don't want your tele to look like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angry Tele Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 awesome but for all those extra screws. :poke: Thats what I was saying about the color tone if its more pale yellow white works, butt blonde= black works. I vote white. Look at this picture and tell me you don't want your tele to look like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian May Posted June 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'll see how I feel with the black but I still feel an off white guard would look nice..like in the pic above. Dont like that metal cover over the bridge though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members giantbaba Posted June 7, 2010 Members Share Posted June 7, 2010 I vote leave it black. If you're dead-set on changing it, do standard white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
