        Are you doing the finishing? That looks great! I love that color for a burst. What paint? Stew-mac?

        It's a local Luthier in Cergy Pontoise (France). I have showed him a telecaster 30th anniversary for exemple.

        I see your dilemna. They both look totally awesome. The black looks good because of the black burst on the edge, but the white looks good because of the contrast with the general darkness of the finish that gives it a classic look. I'm a big help, eh?

        that guitar looks too good to put either over its finish . what i would do is to have the same guy make you up a matching wood pick guard with a very thin clear plastic top to match the guitar. it could be done with veneer on the back of the clear plastic. i wouldnt want anything hiding that finish.

        IMO : White, definitely white. Looks a lot more "telecasterish"

        Wow, looks really great : a very sober transplant, respectful of the original shape and hardware. A very beautiful gift you just made to yourself
