I like honey blonde and butterscotch.

What say you?

I say honey blonde and butterscotch are some of my least favourite colours haha!

I don't like black, or sunburst, yet I have a tele in each. Being 62 and 72 customs though they're not standard looking enough to bore me.

I like the Paisley and printed finishes fender Japan do on their guitars.

I also think a natural finish really hammers home the workmanlike ethos of the tele. No fancy colour, no frills, just a tele.

Yup, picked up one of these beauties while I was over there (stock photo, not mine):

Definitely my favorite. Sounds as beautiful as it looks. The pickguard isn't quite that frosty, either, I think that's just the anti-scratch film that comes from the factory.

At the same time, yeah. If I could justify owning more than one, this is what the other one would be.

Butterscotch with a black pick guard is my favorite. 2-Color Sunburst is right up there, too... and natural and Olympic White, Desert Sand... :)

Favorite would be natural with some nice wood grain.

Least favorite color and least favorite guitar of all time for me is butterscotch tele with black PG or any kind of yellow. Then seafoam, I hate seafoam green on anything.

edit: Actually, absolute fav tele is the all rosewood tele.

I mean come on....

Butterscotch, tangerine, and sunset orange. Kind of infatuated with the orange colors because I live in the middle of Illini country.

I like black guitars most. My favorite finish is my black paisley.

Thanks. I saw that Thinline locked in a display case when I was at Guitar Center buying strings and it quickly turned into a much more expensive visit. It's funny how that can happen. :)

I like the paisley finish - but I do not like the Fender Japan RI finishes! Why? Because they are incorrect for a '68/'69 paisley Tele reissue.
