I have been playing with ideas for my tele deluxe project. I am making a padauk neck with a maple fretboard and maple skunk stripe. I can't decide if I want to make it a walnut body with a black pickguard, or a black alder body with a cream pickguard. I already have the wood for the neck and I'm working on it. any ideas?

the padauk neck will be more brown and less orange than the pictures.

i like the first one.

blocks and binding?

+1 first ftw



dots and binding for the win. also.

I like the black one but am not sure about the cream pickguard. It might just be the photoshop. Also, the walnut looks like it might do a good job of bringing out the padauk headstock, and that'd be cool too.

i prefer walnut for the tele.
but i love black and cream

blocks on maple look hot.

def-o need headstock be less orange, more brown. if that happens then first one eff tee double-ewe.

I like the look of the walnut.

WALNUTZ


if you go black, then DO AN MINT

^^^fuck all this shit^^^



ANTIGUA

walnut.

To be honest I'm not really a fan. I like the classic all Maple neck and stock.

this.

although i think it would look better if the 'stock was darker to match the walnut.

They remind me of this...

walnut definitely.

i'd say walnut.
and..... a friend made a board out of padauk and it was orange to start with but like 6 months later it looked like eboney, it reacted really wierd to finger cheeze and sweat, becuz i vivedly remember him oiling it to start, and cleaning it after it turned to poo colors.
weird stuff man.

Padauk eventually turns to a orangy brown color. I plan on clearing over it with gloss nitro.

I am scanning that body drawing today!

how goes this project?
