It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

Meh. It's so hard to find nice tort. Also... it's black. It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

Is the body bound? Maple or rosewood fretboard?

i gotta say, my '85 MIJ 62 Ri with binding looks ok with 3-ply white, but it doesn't right... i dont' really want mint for it, though. probably go with 3-ply parchement  ;)

That's the exact guitar I used to have before I sold it for my Jazzmaster. I had a 3ply black on it and  I think it looked stellar.

The sunburst tele I just bought has a brown tort on it and it's sexy. I'm not a huge fan of the 'burst nor the tort; but in tandem they really work. Very classic.
