Purple Style 2 (Tele)...what color pickguard! White or Black?

[Code Red]

Nice guitars. I have a tele style on ts way on red color. That was the style I wanted the least but for change of desteny it was the cheapest I found one of the USA models. It should come in this week. I like what you did to your guitar, itlooks bery unique, is the bullseye modified by yourself?

BE is a custom shop Tele...made me realize that the USA Prod needed some help

The black with the mirror pickguard is killer!! Now that is what modding Charvels is all about.

That mirror pickguard is a 'one and only'.....per the R&D dept. The thinnest mirror is just too thick for the neck-body gap. One or three-ply fits 99% of the guitars that we've put them on with no thickness issues.

I've never been a fan of the T body style but that bullseye is crazy badass. I also dig the black with the mirror pickguard. I may have to rethink these.

It was a no-brainer for me. Style 2's are just too plain. I suppose that not every Tele needs a pickguard...just like not every Flying V needs a pickguard. Let's face it...a single plain color needs some help. The whole Style 2 series pretty much bombed and got discontinued, which is a little bit of a shame. I'm not trashing them; I own 4 Style 2's, now, so just hold-yer-horses on the troll talk.

The simple fact, in my opinion, is that the guitar needs something to help it out from being too plain. Pick a busier paitn job or a pickguard or a decal (egh)...but they need something.

I might be in the minority here, but I LOVE the pickguards on these Tellies...I have a polar white with a black pickguard (Thanks Ron), and it totally changed the look of the guitar...for the better. The plain white was a bit boring and looked like it needed something.

I will say...purple is a different color than white, and opinions might be different...but I still think the white and the black look good. I'd probably go with the black on that one...kinda like the purple SoCal

My 2 cents

Looks like Grimace.

[guitardudeluke]

[The Rossness]

Neither,

I kinda like the white better myself, but the black is also very nice
did you just fasten it with the pickup scews or did you actually drill holes for the rest of the screw mounts?

I like how you've got the little cutout for the volume knob, though!

That is cool...

I think the black looks killer, but the same time I don't think I would've done it, if that makes any sense.

Same here.

I was seriously considering picking up a purple style two and putting chrome hardware on it with a white pickguard.

I really like your pickguards btw.
