    Kiss My Tele’s Backside

    ...or its front side. I was doing some maintenance today and saw how beautiful the wood is on this guitar. Fender gets it right.

    Is that an invitation or a threat?

    That is a beaut. The sunburst makes it glow under some bright lights too, I'd guess

    It's got almost a red tint to it, and there are places in the wood that shine as if flamed. It is lovely.

    Out of 20, I've got only three with solid colors. The other 16 are either natural or some type of sunburst. I love to see the wood grain.

    most of my guitars are solid or very opaque finishes. Just the R9, CV50 Strat 2-tone sunburst, the Yamaha acoustic and the VM Jazz bass body (not being used) show any grain. And two of those are going to be sold in the near future.
