Let's see your GUITAR!

Love that Tele: Burst: Black Pickguard: Maple Fretboard: So Sweet: And I see your Grandma Made you a quilt!

[kbit]

Hah I'm actually not sure where that quilt came from.
My favorite part of the Tele is the neck pickup, it sounds heavenly.

But I think I may try selling/trading it for something else. Though I'm not sure what yet, possibly a pawn shop mustang (same/similar pickup in both positions).

[hbombgraphics]

Yeah those pickups are pretty sweet to my ears!

how do you handle the intonation with the three saddles?

[kbit]

I bought it used and the intonation is almost perfect so I haven't touched it haha.

& I made a thread for this already, but I have a new edition to the family:


After I get it all set up with new strings and such I have to decide whether or not to keep the Tele or sell it.

Also, opinions please: would an off-white / mint green pick guard look ok on the jazzmaster with it being sunburst and all?
I'm not much of a tort person.

[Holy Schnikes]

I think the Tort looks sweet!

Mint may be OK, better than white, imo, looks like this:

[adrianlee]

I'd go black. Black rules.

[kbit]

Stupid sunburst. I wish I could have gotten something like arctic white. Or satin finished wood. But beggars can't be choosers.
The mint doesn't look quite as good as I was thinking it might. Maybe I will go for black.

The tort actually doesn't look bad, maybe it will grow on me.

[adrianlee]

I have black on my burst strat... It's gorgeous.

[Holy Schnikes]

Black would look cool!

I'd go for the black/white multilayer, those look nice

Me too. That is HOT.

[hbombgraphics]

once you go black you don't return!

[DarkAxel]

Jazzmasters and Jaguars are probably the only guitars that are cool to me with sunburst

nice JM i'm going to a guitar shop today to test out Blacktop and Classic Player JMs - i probably finally made my mind and decided i'll buy a JM, not a Jaguar or a Mustang

[kbit]

Thanks Axel
For the time being I think I'll stick with the tortoise. The black doesn't look that great to me either, so I guess there's no sense in spending $25-40 bucks for a new one.

But thank you all for the opinions and pictures

Jags and Jazzmasters look great sunburst/tort guard. Arctic white is another level though, agree with you there.

What you want is FUCKING GOLD.
