Title: Facelift covers for Fender Telecasters.
Post by: Scotty477 on December 13, 2007, 11:31:06 PM: Has anyone seen or tried one of these Tele 'facelift' covers yet?

They look .... well kind of OTT but if they float your boat, they may be what your looking for.

This isn't my auction btw. I just thought they looked quite radical.

+1 :lol:

It'd be ok if they made them look like good finishes, but they're all cr@p designs that no one (with any sense of taste) would want to use.

Remember Yamaha did something similar - a clear scratchplate over the whole front of the guitar, that you could put paper designs under.
