Thats the decision i need to make. I'd go with a blue one, but they only have these two in the store. So, which one do yall think looks better?

    Black with White scratchplate, or Black with no/black scratchplate and white trim. Sunburst is common/strat like. You got a tele, make it classy, not trashy.

    Left Handed tele's . . .
    Well, between the sunburst and black I'd prefer the sunburst because I like to see wood.
    But which do you like best, it's your color choice, not ours -- Remember, you can always special order a different color:
    AMERICAN VINTAGE SERIES.
    This is an in Butterscotch Blonde Maple (my personal favorite, as I said I like to see wood).
    STANDARD SERIES.
    These come in: Brown Sunburst Maple, Black Maple, Chrome Red Maple, Midnight Wine Maple, and Electron Blue Maple.
    Cheers . . .

    It depends, is it single coil or humbuckers?

    With single coil teles butterscotch blonde or sunburst is the only way to go.
    With humbucker and fat teles I prefer either black or sunburst, but both look good.

    But that's my personal taste.

    Mine is sunburst with a pearl white pickguard. Looks drop dead gorgeous if you ask me. Butterscotch or blonde would be my second choice.

    I like the sunburst/pearl combo on the tele.

    Are you serious? Sunburst is the only answer here.

    Pure class and style all the way.

    Sunburst definetly. Can´t stand Teles in black. Doesn´t fit to that style in my eyes.
