ok, I've decided that these look too cool not to have one on my Tele (I have Twinfan to thank for this, his blue Tele looked awesome), I've narrowed it down to three choices from what I've found on ebay (unless anyone else knows of better ones I can get)...

This will be going on my black '72 Tele Custom RI behind the bridge - which one would you choose?
-
B34, no contest!
I think B34 and A60 are Gil Elvgren paintings, but not A75.
-
Post a pic of the guitar, to see which one looks better! I liked all three
-
I like the A75 personally. What is it about teles and pinup girls? I have one on mine
-
I like the A75 as well
Think I would have an Olivia picture rather than a Gil Elvgren
Like this one of Bettie Paige

B34 certainly wins out on flesh content... But I agree on wanting to see the guitar...
-
No need for me to look at the link for these.
The answer is obviously the one with the biggest tits :)

The one with red hair and clothes would probably stick out the most on a blue guitar. Think a bit about how the colors would match or interfere, the pics are all similar after all except for the colors.
-
No Marilyn? I wonder if you can get her in these transfers in her 'Some Like It Hot' outfits? She looked incredible in that film.
Steve Jones from The Pistols has 50's pinup girls on his White LP custom. Last year Gibson started making a replica after years of ignoring him.
Nice idea HTH!
-
Whoa!
You have to go with this one!!!
Sign of the devil, dude!!!
Mark.

These 2 work for me! I only got the small ones for a bit of fun but I think I might get a bigger one and tru-oil it on the front.
-
thanks for the replies, I kind of leaning towards this one now...

Thumbs up for that one! I think it'll suit the black guitar too.
TBH, you might as well buy a few of them and see how they look. It's only $1.99 a pop.

Thats what I've done in the end - will line them up and see which looks the best. I went for these three lovely ladies...

Pictures will of course follow for Fernando's sake :lol:

Ooh, what it is to be a trendsetter ;)

Looking forward to seeing how they turn out.
I think I have a few somewhere, can't remember which ones. Bought on a whim and never seriously considered actually sticking them on a guitar.

What did you seriously consider doing with them then?

Tattoo transfers!

Nothing. You know me, I buy stuff, leave it lying around for a while, then sell it.
At a loss. :|
-
SAme as me mate. Same as me. I just love buying stuff.

I'll defo post pictures once they get here - will likely lean towards the B29 or A97 birds, but it all depends on which one looks best on the guitar. I went with white backgrounds as they're going on a black guitar, but looking at (the clear background ones with the paintwork showing through) on Twinfan's Tele, I'm not so sure now ( :?
-
This B29 is really really cool!!!
-
ok, here goes - I've picked the two I liked best and laid them out. I actually like the lass sitting on the 'poofie' rather than the one in the pink dress, the curves just follow better with the guitar on the pic of the blonde with the skimpy black cozzie.
-
I so need some of these for my SG and Explorer.
Paddy
-
Ok, the deed is done - I used the 2nd girl, just fitted the vibe better.
I will say, its a bitch to get right - the whole thing folded over and clung to itself :evil: Much swearing and blueing of the air later, I got it back onto the backing and carefully slid it off onto the guitar. The instructions could be a bit more helpful for numpties like me :lol:
-
Looks great!! :D
