Wasn't expecting those colors. It's going to be unique in a collection of unique teles ;-)

A black burst should set the colour off nicely - I hope!Originally Posted by fender3x

I think Simon did one of those back in the day. I used to see them a lot when I was a kid, very cool color combination!

Today I did some work on a pickguard. It is based on the Merle Haggard style, but with a twist!
Started by modifying my original tele Merle H' template. I'm not sure if I like the point next to the controls so it may change!

Actually the point is a nice accent. Better maybe than the original Merle maybe IMHO. It'll look good with black-chrome knobs.
I didn't realize that you were planning to leave out the neck pickup. Sort of EVH meets Merle? Or the kind of guitar that Billy Gibbons would order if he lost his "Peeler"...
Thanks Fender3x.
Yes, bridge pup only with a coil split. It will be a bit of a BFG tribute - I even have a "beer" sticker for the back!

It looks the part. Just needs one of these
Good point. I like that longhorn picture, especially the 3d aspect. I will have to look out for one!
The one I used on my Dusty bass was just a vinyl sticker (https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...l=1#post224908)

I remember that one! IIRC it had a pickup made by another builder on the forum, right?
