heavy relic my arse! fender cs is just changing their oil without washing their hands!

You aren't real far off here. My luthier is a former Fender Custom Shop builder and he has a pint of dirty motor oil and a greasy old CV boot that he keeps in his shop. Any time he is doing work on an old, oil-finished neck that ends up taking off the cool, worn in look, he "oil-finishes" it with the motor oil. If it's a really worn in neck he uses the grease off of the CV boot.

On one hand, black hardware on white reminds me of those cheap-ass Aria Jackson-ripoffs from the 80s that would never intonate.

On the other hand, it gives off a slight Stormtrooper vibe


But for the most part, Chrome and/or Gold on White = perfect.

Stormtrooper eh? i think youre onto something there Newc...

on the back you could put a decal that says "why arent you at your post?!"

jaja

Below is the list of certified Charvel nuts that agree with Mike on how cool that knob is:

**crickets**


those things are the worst. I still have mine at home to laugh at after swapping it out for a proper one.

I love those knobs. You don't like it, send it to me.

I wish I had somecash in the descretionary budget, cause I would have one of the white ones in a heartbeat.

That is by far the best looking model yet. I hope they do it again in a year or two when I can afford one.

Mike,
I hope you are reading all this love for the white ones. The zebra's, the cream rings and the chrome hardware are bringing lots of people back to the time these guitars first came out.

No let's lose the Tele and replace it with a single hum.
