The white PG is "too much" for my eyes. I remember seeing Kerc's Midnight Wine Tele with black pickguard and liking that color scheme. Not that it matters much to me (or anyone) but red and black were my high school colors. I love the contrast of the matte black with the shiny candy apple red. Going to Guitar Parts Resource to order it now!

Spud - The amph knobs on a Tele make sense and I've heard about a lot of Tele players going that route on theirs because some people like knowing the value number of their volume when gigging. So maybe in that respect...maybe not illegal, but cheating a bit?
