Hey
My build is still at the sourcing stage and now i'm after a guard.
Im building a 59-61/62 telecaster in custom colour non bound body.
So my looking into the history is that these came with Mint green guards? or least started to go mint.
The body is LPB (aged, quite dark) So although i could go quite dark mint i much prefer the lighter ones as i think they look more genuine.
Any thoughts? Pics would be great. But looking for a good quality 3ply light mint green board.
I have seen these...

These look the best. any experience?
Or there is the fender board but normally they are too mint.?
Callaham?

I have some lighter ones in stock that were sent by mistake - I'll get a picture up tomorrow.
Ive got a brand new one of these, that i purchased for a trade deal that unfortunately didn't happen. (Grrr @JonHosker !!)

what colour?
thanks!
I have one of this sellers mint green guards on my tele. Mine wasn't aged when I got it but has been lightly aged now. They are pretty good in my opinion - no too green. You should jump at Waz's kind offer.
