Default NGD Fender Tele

So I traded my fender MIM for a used American telecaster...the MIM neck was too slick on the back as it had some finish on it and my hand would slip or get sweaty more easily --- so this one doesn't have that finish on it and it is just natural wood and not slick at all -- what y'all think???

Now thot's just pretty. Of course, I am a sucker for red...

I'm biased because my #1 is Copper Burst Tele.

Also love the red. I almost bought your same model until I ran into this limited production (200 pcs made) Copper Burst. Love the maple neck on the Tele's. Mine is high gloss everywhere which I prefer.

Great looking guitar. (Candy Apple Red is what it looks like to me). I really like the white guard but hey ..... it's your guitar. Congratulations!

I've got maple fingerboards on both my Stratocaster and Telecaster, however one has a gloss and one has a satin finish. (I like them both).

Red must be the color for Teles. Mine is Candy Cola Red.

Congrats!

Well let me bring a new color to NGD! I took advantage of the super sale on these Bound Fretboard Beauties!

I LOVE the bound fret board

If it were mine, I would replace the pic guard with white pearloid or in your case black pearloid. A nice offset of a sollid color body.
