Teles have beauty in their simplicity and functionality. Jagstangs are a different kind of beautiful, the bastardised, ugly kind. I think that's the point of the aesthetics of both.

I really don't like the look of any guitar in sienna sunburst though, I don't know why.

I love Sienna sunburst--if it were available when I was buying a guitar--all other things being equal--I would probably pick the sienna sunburst.

It just strikes me as too ginger looking. And not in the nice, young Alyson Hannigan way. :?

I am. I actually like it if its with a black scratch plate. I think it really needs that contrast of colours to look good to me.

+1 on the contrast.

Last year, I had the CS build a Jaguar (ok I wanted a color they didn't offer on the production line.) The only pickguards they offered from the production line were tortoise shell and white. This was to be a pewter Jaguar and although the white pick guard looks good on Clapton's Strat, I felt it would be too much with all of the chrome/nickle on the Jag. We ended up using black pearl for the pick guard. (I contemplated using a simulated granite counter top material but I would have needed to supply Fender with a couple sheets of the stuff.)

Turned out pretty good I think.

I like the look of the Tele. Mine is a Blacktop and I think it’s very pretty:

Teles will always hold a special place in my heart, here is a quick gander at my USA Tele though I sold her to a pal who just fell in love with her :(

I am actually waiting on a guy bring up one of those Fender Custom Tele HH FMT Black Cherry Bursts within the hour so my wallet is ready :D

Click on the first pic as it is actually a video

Hey! Don't be dissin' the Jaguars. Nearly all of Fender's guitars are things of beauty. Jag-Stangs excepted. :lol:
