Please post pics of your Shell Pink guitars

Post by TheBurbz » Sun Jun 15, 2008 3:09 pm

I'd like to see the variations between them, I'm thinking of putting together a shell pink Telecaster but I'm not sure if it will look best with a vintage tinted maple neck or rosewood. I'd also like to check out the colour of your pickguards  :)

At the moment I'm thinking cream binding & cream pickguard, possibly 50's vintage tinted neck. Opinions and advice welcomed  :D
