Members docjeffrey Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm not feelin' the black. I'm getting set to order one of these. I might actually convert it to an Esquire with a really cool pickup from one of those boutique winders. Anyway, white MOTS is out (hate it). What color did Fender ship Oly white teles with in the 60's? Was it plain white? Tortoise is a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members irishstu Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 The one that's on it is fine. However, if you INSIST on changing it, I say go with the mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
