Show off your guitars

I've had a bunch come and go over the years. This is a few pics I dug up from when I had my home rehearsal studio. I've since tore down the room to make my garage more suitable for working on the jeeps and the occasional wood working project. After my daughter moved out I turned her room into my music space. Haven't used it too much lately. Jeep has been taking up a lot of spare time.

I'm thinking a no pickguard tele would really stand out...or possibly make one out clear acrylic...

What about pickups?...

Looks awesome. In think it would look great both with or without a guard. If you use a standard tele guard it will only cover the upper section. You'd still see the majority of the grain on the top. Can't wait to see the end result! You're very talented my friend.

Thank you willyrocklt it means a lot [emoji4][emoji4] thanks for the comment on the pick guard too. But iv decided to go with no pick guard. I really love quilted maple and don't want to cover it up aha.
