So my dad has always wanted a Paisley Tele but could never get the money together for one so for his Birthday I stole his Nashville Tele for a bit and made him this. What do you think?

Used Some Paisley Fabric, a Clear Pick Guard and Swapped out the stock white pick up cover in the middle for a black one.

That looks cool!

Some black screws for the pickguard and pickup mounting would really make it look nice.

I have the Nashville... Did you have the pickguard special ordered or did you cut out the mid pickup hole yourself?

Everyone is saying how nice this guitar looks. Maybe something is wrong with my computer, but I don't see a pic, or a link to one. I'll keep looking.......maybe I can figure it out.

Really nice job steve - it looks great with the finish. How neat would it be to find a matching guitar strap...
