matttheguy Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I think it'd be interesting, as you have black with silver design, to use a silver with black design pickguard, like the one here with the paisley pattern: http://www.wdmusic.com/fender_telecaster_r..._27909_prd1.htm It's hard to say, though.

tirapop Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I like the pickguards on the originals. They were clear and they sprayed the burst color around the opening for the pickup, to cover the p/u route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logical Frank Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I was thinking just a black pickguard... The different paisley might be too busy or maybe awesome, I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurits Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Most likely awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yelserpdog Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well, it's taken ages!!!!! To cut a long story short, I screwed up big time and ended up having to strip of the fabric and get some new stuff. Unfortunately the original fabric was no longer available so I had to get a slightly different paisley. After hours of laquer coats and polishing, it's finally finished. It isn't perfect by a long way but given my complete lack of skills in this area, i'm well pleased. I'm going to replace some of the hardware but for the time being I just want to enjoy it. I thought about sticking on a new neck but the one it is absolutely perfect if a bit worn. WIth the new fabric applied WIth the Sunburst done (using the Poor man's burst from this site) My baby finished!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Point me to the 12 Tele's for a dime. I will take several dozen please. You know what I mean... Fender makes a million variations of the Tele, you see a lot of them, etc. I love Teles, but this one is especially awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
