Which color for my Tele??

[Laroosco!]

I have had Tele parts in my basement for a while now. I'm going to make a 60's style Tele with a rosewood board.

I have made every decision except I haven't figured out which color I want to paint it. :confused:

I was originally going to paint it Lake Placid Blue with a mint green guard but fellow forum member BobbyRay bought a Tele in that exact color scheme so I don't want to look like a wannabe ;)

I'm not super worried about the period correct thing. i just want a cool color.

Butterscotch

Not doing any transparent colors.

Draw one from a hat! Ice Blue is something you rarely see but similiar to your buddy's. SLG or Inca are sweet. Again, make about 5 so you do not have to decide!

This sounds like the best suggestion ever

60's style Tele? Rosewood board?

Lake Placid Blue, there is no other choice.

Seafoam or Surf green...

Is it a bound body? That, I find, greatly affects my opinion vis a vis Tele colors...

I voted inca after seeing the bound one danocaster made in the retailers section. Sweet!

This is looking the best to me right now.
