... cos they’re horrific...
Not a Tele man myself but would love a paisley or blue flower Strat.
I had a black paisley MIM, and still have my pink MIJ. The black was nice, and had better stock wiring & pickups, but I prefer my pink one, as it's paisley on both front and back and has the proper shiny silver paper for the paisley bits, not just a black & white print.
Must take more pics...

Mine me was built with an Allparts body, love it.
Would have done done this on a different bodied guitar by now, but tracking down the correct paper (textured metallic) and something then printable has been and continues to be a nightmare. They don’t look right with just white in between the paisley pattern.
It's still a Tele at least. That automatically puts is above a Jazzmaster or Jaguar, or other trendy hipster offset. At least you can strip the Tele and get it refinished in a good colour like Lake Placid Blue or Candy Apple Red.
I remember one being in Hobgoblin Music in Crawley in 1987, it was round the corner from the college I went to and I used to go and look at it during the lunch break.
From what I remember it was really cheap compared to other Fenders in the shop and had I had the money I would have got it.
