I recently saw a yellow paisley '69 Tele w/ a Strat neck. Is Fender planning on making any paisley designs again??? If I had the cash & could find one, I'd snatch that bad $@! up in a second!

The lower photo is blocked here where I'm posting from but the upper photo is just a very yellowed and faded pink paisley Tele - you can really see the pink around the neck pickup and in the pattern under the clear pickguard. And of course someone swapped out the Tele neck for a Strat neck from somewhere between 1968 (the large decals appeared early that year) and mid-1971 (they switched to the bullet truss rod/3-bolt necks during 1971).

@John C

Yep, Fender never did a yellow paisley guitar or bass.

Strat necks made after 1971 had a pair of string trees in addition to the bullet truss rod and 3-bolt neckplate. Also, the "with synchronized tremolo" script on the peghead was gone during that period.
