Help Me Choose

I've been working on picking the specs for a dream tele. It's gotta be sunburst, but I need help deciding between these two.

1957 Telecaster (2-tone Sunburst): Great look and I LOVE the clean look of a 5-hole, 1-ply pickguard.

1962 Custom Telecaster (3-tone Sunburst): Not as big a fan of the mint guard with extra screws, but LOVE the binding. Also, some clay dots would be pretty sweet.

Well, we all know that rosewood is better . . . much better.

But really, Mark: You are the only one who has to like it.

Why not do a cross between the two...?? 2 tone SB, 5 hole 1 ply guard, binding, maple neck...???

I reckon that would be pretty sweet...

That's exactly what I was thinking. Because it is your dream Tele.
