Hey all - I'm looking for some inspiration but unfortunately am on very slow internet nowadays and very limited search ability.

Anyone have some pics of nice tele builds with no pickguards and rear routing? I'm thinking p90's but open to any inspirational pics.
Planning: fiesta red + two cream p90s, "deluxe" knobs, rosewood fingerboard. Not sure about which bridge I'll pick.

Would love to see similar ideas as I of course want to build about 50 different combinations

Here's my "El cabron" build.

Here are a couple options... not exactly what you've asked for, but food for thought.

chillman - that tele is sweet - and the picture belongs in a magazine, really high quality shot

jkingma - that's definitely up my alley, I'm liking the red + cream combo. Of course, people feel free to post anything don't limit it to my specific plan, just curious to see some not-typical builds especially ones that are pickguardless.
