Shell pink! Or the Tele because I don’t get on with Strats. I’m not the one buying though.

Are they all Xotics? :shock: Wibble!!!!!

I'll assume they are:
I've long loved the idea of a Gold Strat and that one is cool. If I'm honest and standing in front of them all, I'd possibly take the white relic in preference.
Once that was decided, my other hand would be carrying the Tele.

So much this!
A Tele looks as daft in a suit as I do.

Number 3 for me, although 2 is also awesome.

The tele. Amazing colour (sonic blue?). Incredible neck wood.

The reliced stuff looks lame, I'm sorry to say.

I don't think they have done a good job with the relic job on the strat, so that one is out for me.

Really like number 1, and the gold strat. Love the colour of the tele. I'm not sure if it's the angle of the photo, but is the body shape slightly different than a Fender tele?

Buy em all!
