Tele thinline - Red or Black?

How can a colour not suit a style of music? Even something like metal where black is usually the quota you get people playing all variety of different guitar colours.

you have a big lebowski name and avatar, therefore you need to work alot harder to make an arse of yourself in my eyes.

i thought you were going all mojo I DON'T PLAY THESE GUITARS BECAUSE MY GENRE DOESN'T but 'twas a seemingly innocent comment, apologies for being a bit sharp.

I get what he is saying. Ibanez did a line of flourescent color Supertstrats in the 90s which seemed very glam rock and still does i think, also, have you seen the BC Rich 'snakeskin' finish guitars? You just would'nt...

Similarly you wouldn't show up to a metal gig with DDDave's leather tooled tele.

Although, we are talking about very different styles of guitars. I think the difference between a red tele and a black tele is a little less obvious, and those colours aren't as genre specific as others.

black by a wide margin.

but i hate red, so that could be influencing my decision.

Fiesta red has the Hank Marvin UK tradition. The Queen's red, then. I like black as much as the next guy, but it kind of disappears into the dark and would HIDE THE F HOLE.

I wish people wouldn't associate guitars themselves with genres, don't even start with the paint colour now.

I like seeing somebody do something with a particular guitar that you wouldn't expect, but there are some guitars that won't work in certain situations. Saying there isn't, is silly.

The colours thing is really daft.

Fuck's sake, I thought Tim had made some progress and it's just a bunch of tosswank

timhulio · Post by **timhulio** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 9:01 am

LOL!

Stacey says I'd quickly tire of the bright red, so some kind of green is the frontrunner now. I fancy aged pelham blue, or old lpb like this one. Getting this stuff is gonna be impossible though. I'm going to have to experiment with a few different halfords colours I suspect.

No, I'm not going to relic it.

Post by **Mike** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 9:09 am

I can get on with Green.

I had a similar issue as you when I saw the ash body I'm getting for this guitar though. The grain is actually gorgeous. So things might change yet.

Ain't painting it til the weather improves though. Had a bloody nightmare clearcoating pedals at the weekend.

Yeah, I still look at the Duo-Sonic and have Duo-Feelings about it. The wood is glorious so it feels wrong to not show it off, but I know I would prefer it personally in a black and tort colour scheme.

I can see sun-faded Jags, MGs, and the occasional Austin-Healey 3000. A less common and lovely choice I'd easily vouch for on a Tele, even if it takes a sherwood/forest green hit of paint to suffice.
