SHEEIIT That's hot!
Although it's expensive, I'd have thought the BIN would've been even higher.

Shell pink is one of my favourite guitar colours and that tele looks beautiful...

I have to agree especially when it's shell pink...

Im considering a refin on the Squier Strat, John Squire and all that.
That Tele is the sexiest one i've ever seen.

I agree with you. Rosewood always looks better on a tele to me but there is something about a worn maple neck that you just can't get with an old rosewood guitar.

like it or not, fender is entirely responsible for popularizing maple as a fretboard wood. all fender guitars and basses prior to late 1958 came in maple and maple only. this includes esquires, teles, strats, musicmasters, duo-sonics and p-basses. it probably wouldn't even be considered today as an option as a fretboard wood if it wasn't for fender. it's always been a classic fretboard wood identified with, more so than any other guitar company, fender guitars.
