The lovely Stacey got me some nice Tele Thinline parts for Christmas, and I've got an unfinished body on the way.

Hmmm still not sure. I'm a bit more excited about Fiesta Red, of which that colour is an approximation.

It's more like Hot Rod Red in my opinion. Fiesta is more Orangey.

I like teh Orange, sorry. I saw a blues band years back and the guitarist had what appeared to be an orange Tele and it looked awesome.

Bound neck is a bit too much, but what James posted for sure.

Black. Or, if you must, red but with a black guard.

But white would be better than both.
