I don't mind the actual finish, but that mud-brown pickguard is ugly as sin.

Easy fix though. Black, white, parchment, MOTS-- just about anything would be preferable to poo-colored.

One word springs immediately to mind about these Teles/Strats........FUGLY!!!

From the poo pickguard to the sickly blue-ish or green-ish coloring of the gits.....just dreadful.

I'm of the firm opinion that if you want the grain to show through, don't ruin it by coloring it. Have yet to see a worthwhile grain that looked better with coloring that it did with a clear finish.

I'm not so sure about the brown anodized aluminum pickguards.
I'd go for the butterscotch blonde Tele :AOK

The Blue color on this Telecaster is not my favorite I must say but the overall specs looks good :AOK

Jipes! Bienvenue!

I was quite busy the last couple of months. I'm now the director of a Jazz Festival in my hometown so I didn't had much time to come on the forum :messedup:

No thank you. However, I could love one for long time if someone wants to buy me one.:AOK
