WTB, white tele pickguard (not anymore!!!!), humbucker covers, DEFINATELY STILL!!@@!!!$##/$/^
Can anyone help? White or parchment tele guard, single or 3 ply? I'll need to get a spacing size for the pole pieces on the pick ups but they were used in a LP.

Damn sure I’ve got tele guards somewhere. I will make an effort to find them today.

One assumes the guard is going to get cut right up

Re: WTB, white tele pickguard, humbucker covers.
I'm loving this build!!!
Is there any chance that you could screw the pickups directly into the body, so that you don't have to have the pickup surrounds?

Re: WTB, white tele pickguard, humbucker covers.
Top mounting is a bit thing.
I like the rings. And I’m usually a staunchly not wraparound guy too, but I’m liking where this is going.

Re: WTB, white tele pickguard, humbucker covers.
I mean like a wolfie or charvel. I think it would look quite cool like that, and easy to do. I'm really liking the bridge too. I don't think I've seen one like that on a tele before.Single coil wrote:Top mounting is a bit thing.

Re: WTB, white tele pickguard, humbucker covers.
I like the rings so i'm sticking with them! I'm aiming for a Les Paul, Tele Custom mash up that's fairly traditional in style. I'm a very traditional old man.

Re: WTB, white tele pickguard, humbucker covers.
Here's another pick with the small black pickguard on..
So i'm all toying with the same thing in white or maybe a full white guard.1935 Martin D-45, 1942 Gibson Southern Jumbo,1950 Fender Broadcaster, 1954 Fender Strat, 1958 Gibson Moderne prototype, 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard.

Re: WTB, white tele pickguard, humbucker covers.
So do I and it'll probably be how it ends up, but i'm also thinking black rings, white guard hints just a little towards Flying V, Explorer territory.AiRdAd wrote:I'm loving that black pickguard!!! I like the way it matches the pickup rings

Re: WTB, white tele pickguard, humbucker covers.
OK... we need to get something straight here... although you're building this guitar for yourself... you don't get the final say on what it looks like... we do!!! hahahahakdawg2a wrote:So do I and it'll probably be how it ends up, but i'm also thinking black rings, white guard hints just a little towards Flying V, Explorer territory.AiRdAd wrote:I'm loving that black pickguard!!!

Re: WTB, white tele pickguard, humbucker covers.
Chrome rings with the black pickguard would look awesome, I might even have some...
