I chose Olympic White too... !!

My '99 Nashville Telecaster Deluxe is Arctic White w/ Tortoise PG:

It aged so well... somewhere between French Vanilla and Blonde. 8)

I bet the Olympic White does something similar.

cheers!

Black looks better on white though blue is a better colour.

I say take the blue and ditch the black pick guard.

Maybe it's just the picture, but I think the blue one is actually chrome blue, rather than LPB. It looks identical to my '04, except mine is an HH.

Anyway, since this is the Fender forum, the only correct answer is
