Tele thinline - Red or Black?

Sorry but white binding on a red body is chaff. Not even Dean guitars dare do that.

pfffft.

I mean, come on. Lordy I want a bound tele, ideally sunburst but red is the secret "will never buy but WANT".

I had a sunburst bound Tele made by Fenix. They are collectable now and i gave the damn thing away.

i quite like the red with white binding, i must say. seems to soften the edges a bit.

'62-style binding looks cool, but I found (in the tele I've recently sold) that it dug in my ribs and was generally uncomfortable. I'm kinda going for 'less is more' with this one.

Spokeshave = Rib contour.
If its an unfinished body then why not? I put contours on that JS i built.

Well I reckon a standard edge radius will be fine, comfort wise. Plus thinline with a contour is a bit tricky. Warmoth do this, but when I asked said it was a one-off.

Oh right they only do it on their 'hollow' tele bodies, which are different from 'thinline' ones... obviously!

red. thinline plus the contour is cool but i always found flame tops on fenders look out of place... that and Â£/$ means it's f-in expense..

is that going to be a firebird pickup in the neck btw?

Lol I didn't notice the flamed maple. Yeah I don't dig that stuff either. Yep it's a firebird or les paul deluxe pickup... not decided which one yet though, but I do have a crappy Artec minibucker as a placeholder for now.

like on jaguars, i was picking mine out and red looked soo good on it but i picked sunburst instead
Red is good depending on what style your playing sunburst works for just about everything.

Sort your point out. You say style of music but then that red on a jaguar doesn't work. Do you mean style of guitar or style of music?
