Thanks alot guys,
I learned all about this stuff from visiting this forum.
I know I don't post that much, but I fucking love this place.

other than a different guard or body, what colour combinations would you suggest?
(I personally love the black tuxedo look, but I'm open to suggestions)

I think the black and black and maple is iconic, and beautiful. Don't change it unless you want to.

ive never played a tele custom before, but after playing this one i can honestly say its fantastic.
i love the different sounds the humbucker and bridge pickups can get. considering the fact that Im usiing a couple cheap pickups, i cant wait to throw something of higher quality in there.

i never knew the joy of a neck-bucker/tele pickup combination.

I forgot who it was but doesnt someone on here have a tele custom made from a gfs body with one of those gfs nashville pickups in the neck position?
how does that sound?
