Anyone Ever Seen a Turquoise Tele with a Black Pickguard?

Trimac20 · October 29th, 2007, 06:03 AM

My original plan was to re-spray my Mexican Turquoise and get a black pickguard - the combo just looked really cool. Just wondering if anyone's ever seen that combo before on any style of telecaster. I googled on the net but found nothing, so I'd think if I did do that I'd have a pretty unique (of course I'm sure there are some) axe. If I was a rightie I'd have bought a '62 Re-issue in teal/turquoise, but I think my 52 looks very attractive as well.

Don't know if my tele in my avatar is a turqouise or not but check it out even if it isn't I think it would look great. Just my.02.

This might give you some idea of that combination.

^ Wow, what a coincidence, a Valvetronix...I have an AD100VT myself, great amps especially for the price. That's exactly the combo I envisaged. And nice photoshop job there jwells, I would love to see something like that in real life. I don't know what the attraction is, but I find that combo strikingly beautiful and original.

I've been thinking that this would be $109 well spent. Not a Tele, an SX STL:

This is one of those cool Wildwood Colorful Nocaster. Ocean Turquoise

It's a nice combination that I wouldn't have thought of. Lilhatchett's avatar looks great & I too was a Vox Valvetronic user for a while.

Krylon used to make a nice turquoise. The name was actually Teal. However they discontinued it a couple of years ago. It was just about the color I Photoshoped above. It might be possible to find some old stock in a hardware store somewhere.

Turquoise is a lot like the color 'Belair Green' from the G + L catalogue.

I like the teal color of that SX guitar, it'd be even better semi-transparent.

Not a combination I'd ever have thought of, but those photos all look superb.

In the not too distant future I'm considering building my own 'Partscaster' as you call it. It shouldn't be too hard, I imagine...how do you usually paint your partcaster's (or whatever you call them)? Just with ordinary spray-paint? I guess I could then get the finish professionally done. I've always wanted a guitar that was truly 'me' and it building a guitar sounds like a really fun project.
