Reply With QuoteYeah, I like that look a lot better. All the way around. I would love that tortoise shell PG on another color tele. Once in a while, I think about a tortoise shell PG on my blizzard pearl strat.

Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!
It's a pretty small modification, but I switched to the white pearloid pickguard and contrasting black middle pickup cover. I much prefer this look to the stock tortoise shell guard and white p'up cover. IMO, this is how the Nashville Tele should be outfitted in the first place! Here's the "Before" and a couple of "Afters":

Dude, you're so right, voodooman. I'm totally more about tortoise pickguards over the pearl ones and even I agree. That tortoise one has no place on that Tele. Nice change.

A much more sophisticated lady! You did the right thing Dvm.

Just make sure you take'er home before midnight or you'll have a hell of a time going door to door trying your new pickguard on every tele in town.
