Hey all,

I've been seeing talk of partscasters since I got on this forum, and I finally got the itch. I want to build a parts guitar. Conveniently, I also want to have a tele! So my question is: since it's going to be black, do I go with a white pickguard, or a mint pickguard?

If you've got pictures to help convince me...please post 'em!

I use it for that or if someone would be interested in a build it helps me figure what it would cost....Great tool and I got some cool connections from using this site.:AOK

Scroll down and click on the Blackguard tele amd have at it.
