I've got this aluminum body Tele in a trade from a member here a few years ago. I haven't used it in a while so I decided to take it out of the case, ... and paint it. Which one do you like best, the original metal finish, or the new blue one?

I like the 'C' pickguard, where can I get that?

I'd go for the alum.
Anyone can have a blue Tele.
As Diablo points out, it's rare .. correct?
An engraved PG would look good on it too.

I like 'C', where can I get that?

Why not use it as a canvas for one of your paintings?

I did consider that.

O Natural. With an engraved guard. Unless the blue is is really worn and the aluminum shows through

Yeah, I did wear away some of the blue around the edges to let the black paint and aluminum body show thru, might have to do a bit more.

That's awesome. Great choices. Really pops good. That guitar is noticeable from far away.

How heavy is it?

Haven't weighed it bu it weighs about the same as a wooden guitar.
