So, I’ve made a wooden pickguard for my tele

Yay or nay?

I really dig it and I’m happy that I’ve removed the cheap plastic one.

springhead

I say yay.  Very nicely done.  

Rocker

Very nice work my friend.  Well done.

SouthpawMark

Pleasant. 

mrkb

Very yAy!!

Bellycaster

That looks quite sumptuous!

chromatuna

Unusual and classy IMHO. Yay from me.

Looks great....I think a matching wooden bridge pickup ring would look good

Nay. I can't stand wooden trim on guitars. Looks like 70s furniture, and not in a good way.

But if you like it, keep it... it looks neatly made.

Balrog68

I would have run the grain the other way.. But yay... I like! 

Jimbro66

I like it. Makes a change from (yawn) black bakelite.

thegummy

Looks very cool!

munckee

70's furniture??  You taking the piss out of my 70's Gibson The Paul, 'coffee table burst'?
Pistols at dawn (or maybe later, I don't do mornings).

I love the sound of those, but they do look awful . And that's even given that I like walnut as a wood.

They often have a face only a mother could love, but I do love a bit of naked walnut action

I'm more concerned about the humbuckers, that's just wrong on a Tele.

It comes stock like this - it’s the American standard HH model.

Having said that, I’m getting old and really thinking about converting it to a regular tele and keep just the humbucker in the pickguard.
