Hi all... I'm tinkering with the idea of putting together a Custom Tele from parts. I was so happy with my MJT strat body that I thought an MJT tele might be a welcome addition to the family.I was screwing around on the USACG virtual guitar builder and really liked the look of the bound Inca Silver body. I guess my question is regarding whether anyone has seen or heard of a vintage Inca Silver Custom Tele? Is it fair to assume that the same custom colors were available on teles that were available on strats? Thanks...

I don't think that Fender made a bound Tele in Inca Silver, but remember a person could have one ordered if they wanted it.

I think it would be pretty cool. I also think that Lake Placid Blue would look cool too. The white binding would be a nice contrast to the metalic blue body.

I built an Andy Summers Inspired Tele with a Maple neck and bound 3-color-sunburst and I love it. If I can give one piece of advice. I would go with a six-saddle bridge. You'll get better intonation. I've had vintage 3-saddle and six-saddle and I'll never go back to 3-saddle.

Good luck on the guitar and let me know how it all turns out.
